What reading level is France, Its King, Court, And Government book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A q\ieen of Spain ought not to look out of the window." But the imagination of the author has not equalled the record of history. In the absurdity of these observances, " truth is strange, stranger than fiction." When Marie Antoniette arrived on the frontiers of France, to espouse the Dauphin, she was divested of all her clothes, in a tent pitched for that purpose, and then habited in a French suit. Even Napoleon was led away by his penchant for these trifles to reestablish their observance at ...his Court ; and it is well known that at the coronation of the Empress there was quite a family scene, because he insisted that her train should be borne by his crowned sistei-s.
Under the ancient regime, the right to have both folding-doors thrown open, or to sit upon a tabouret, which is a cushioned stool, was one of the greatest honors a subject could aspire to, and excited more sensation than many a political event aficcting the prosperity of the kingdom. On particular days the King dined in public, when the principal personages of the Court and the kingdom were seen standing at his chair, holding plates and towels under their arms and in their hands.
