What reading level is A New book About London: a Quaint And Curious volume of Forgotten Lore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Strand portion of the subterranean area takes us back in spirit to the historic " Coal Hole, " originally so styled from being the nightly rendezvous of the coalheavers working on the Thames shore close by, and where, in May 1815, Edmund Kean, then at the zenith of his popularity, founded the Wolf Club.
Its first members were a set of jovial spirits, fond of a bottle and a rousing song, not in any way connected with the stage. But soon the great tragedian gathered around him all the best-kn...own actors of his time. Once Lord Byron ventured into the Coal Hole, but beat a hasty retreat with the reflection that its company was too merry to suit his mood. Another literary celebrity who, contrariwise, had a particular liking for the place was William Makepeace Thackeray. Whenever pos- sible, he would drop in about midnight to enjoy a Welsh rarebit and listen to the glee singing. According to some of his biographers, it was this famous night-house, rather than the Cyder Cellars or Evans's Supper Rooms, which he had in mind when penning a description of " The Cave of Harmony "in The Newcomes.
