What reading level is An Attempt to Explain the Origin And Meaning of the Early Interlaced Ornamentati book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Michael's church yard in the Isle of Man. They were probably used in the same way to fix to the ground an earlier cross of wicker-work, of which the existing monument is a copy engraved on stone. I dare not of course take it upon me to assert that there is any positive connection between the huge animal on the Shandwick stone and the colossal images mentioned by Csesar and Strabo, as being employed by the Druids in their human sacrifices, but the coincidence (if indeed it be not something more)... is sufficiently curious and interesting to demand a passing notice. It is supposed that these and some other as yet inexplicable devices found on the same stones are symbols of a religion prior to Christianity ; a cir- cumstance by no means improbable, as it is known that con- vents among the Saxons and probably the Britons also, clung with much pertinacity to some of their Druidical and Pagan customs long after they had assumed the outward emblems of Christianity. This may account for the juxtaposition of the cross with devices of unknown meaning, and explain in some degree the remarkable circumstance that Pagan and Christian emblems both derive their ornamentation from the same source basket-work.
