What reading level is The Visitor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— White, GOOD GOVERNMENT.
It is essential to the goodness of a governor, or king, to guard the rights, secure the peace, and promote the pro- sperity of his subjects. No one can be called a good governor, who does not exercise his supremacy and authority in framing and executing laws for the pro- tection and safety of his subjects. It is as essential to the character of a good ruler to punish vice as to reward virtue j to avenge the wrongs of his subjects, as to secure their interests : yea, th...e former is essential to the latter, since it is only the fear of punishment that restrains wicked men from violence. Should a ruler suffer crimes to go unpunished, the laws, however good and righteous in themselves, would presently lose their authority, and government fall into con- tempt. Laws have no force any further than they are carried into execution ; and authority loses its respect whenever it ceases to be exercised. Whenever the supreme magistrate neglects the execu- tion of the laws, he loses the confidence of the people, and his regard to the public welfare becomes suspected.
