What reading level is The Quest of the Colonial book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


A comparatively simple case of repair, thou^ at first it had much the appearance of being hopeless, was in regard to a fine mahogany table with claw- and-ball feet, dating back into the eighteenth cen- tury. Such a wreck it was, that the man who im- earthed it charged only a dollar for it and then be- lieved that he was taking an unfair advantage!
"Don't buy it," he said; "you can't possibly get it re- paired, and I don't like to sell such a thing." [269] THE QUEST OF THE COLONIAL And he would
...have been ri^t had it been our in- tention to have it restored as it ori^nally was.
That would have been impossible, or at least so dif- ficult as to cost an unreasonable sum. It was a table, two legs of which turned most unexpectedly on wooden hinges, to support queer wings. It was a highly elaborate affair, and must have been the pride of some one's heart in an old O)lonial home.
It was a pity to reduce its dimensions; but it was best to restore as much as possible, and without re- duction nothing at all could be done.
