What reading level is A Life of Washington book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chamberlayne. who resided on the Fi^ rira O*" WASHiNGTOK. IW inunkey, one of the branches of York River* Washington was on his way to Williamsburg, on somewhat pressing business, when he met Mr. Chamberlayne, who, according to the good old Virginia custom, which forbids a traveller to pass the door without doing homage at the fireside of hospitality, insisted on his stopping an hour or two at his mansion. Washington complied unwillingly, for his business was ur* gent. But it is said that he was... in no haste to^ depart, for he had met the lady of his fate in the person of Mrs. Martha Custis, of the White House, county of New Kent, in Virginia.
I have now before me a copy of an original picture of this lady, taken about the time of which I am treating, when she captivated the affections of Washington. It represents a figure rather below the middle size, with hazel eyes, and hair of the same colour, finely rounded arms, a beautiful chest and taper waist, dressed in a blue silk robe of the fashion of the times, and altogether furnishing a very sufficient apology t6 a young gentleman of seven and twenty for delaying his journey, and perhaps forgetting his errand for a time.
