What reading level is Farmington Two Hundred Years Ago a Paper Read At a Meeting of the Colonial Dame book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Samuel Johnson had not published his famous dictionary, and the great lexicographer of West Hartford had not even been born or his father before him. King James' bible allowed great freedom for individual choice. Give all words a sufficient length, or, if in doubt, add a final vowel would have been a safe rule. No one shirked the labor of writ- ing such words as catalogue at full length. Deacon Bull always spelled iron e-y-r-o-n, liquor 1-i-c-k-q-u-o-r, sugar s-h-u-g-a-r, salt s-a-u-1-t, not on...ce but always.
Would the Colonial Dames of today care to know of the housekeeping and daily life here two hundred years ago? I can give you just about as definite a picture of it as you could get of a village from which all the in- habitants had taken a temporary departure. I can show you all the contents of the house of Samuel Gridley, a well-to-do citizen, down to the most minute item the ap- praisers affixed a value to, when the good man had set his house in order for his departure to a better world.
