What reading level is English Social Reformers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 Cf. Oliphant's Historical Sketches^ and Thackeray's Esmond. RELIGION AND SOCIAL LIFE. 73 Besides gallant profligacy, gambling was then, as now, one of the chief amusements of the higher circles of society. Lecky tells us that "Chief Justice Kenyon in 1796 de- livered a charge in which he dwelt upon the scandalous gambling of faro which was carried on at the houses of some ladies in high society. He threatened to send them to the pillory if they were convicted before him. In the following year... Lady Buckinghamshire and two other ladies of position were, in fact, condemned, not indeed to the pillory, but to pay $o each for illegal gambling. It was proved that they had gaming parties by rotation in each other's houses and sat gambling till three or four in the morning. " 1 Of course, the nineteenth century is by no means blameless in this respect, but at least the Government does not now, as was the case then, encourage a taste for gambling by multiplying public lotteries. From the same author we catch another glimpse of the fashionable amuse- ments of the day, of which Victor Hugo has given a picturesque account in his novel, L'homme qui rit.
