What reading level is Eighty Picturesque Views On the Thames And Medway Engraved On Steel By the Firs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
St. John's Bridge, which is accounted one of the earliest erections across the Isis, is about half a mile distant from Lechlade. The river, before it reaches the bridge, has been divided, in order to assist the navigation ; and a canal or cut formed to the left, with a lock or flood-gates — the first we meet with on the stream. The main current pursues its course to the right, flowing through two pointed stone arches of rather singular construction, which compose the ancient bridge ; and the ca...nal passes beneath a THE THAMES. 23 flat elliptical arch. The waters now united, forsake their native county of Gloucester, and become the boundaries of Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Beyond the bridge, a large meadow lies on the left, where the Priory or Hospital of Black Canons stood, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, and from whence the bridge received its name, part of the lands of the priory being appropriated to its repair. The land was given by the Lady Isabel de Ferrers, in 1245, and the priory most likely established through her munificence, though Richard, Earl of Cornwall, and his wife Senchia, are generally regarded as the founders ; but they, in all probability, only completed or improved the hospital, which the Lady Isabel had commenced.
