What reading level is Highways And Byways in the Lake District book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But when the archaeologists got to work upon it the matter was soon placed beyond all doubt. An elaborate system of hypercausts was laid bare by slight excavations, and glass with other material was found in the debris. The sills and sides of the windows are even now fairly perfect, and there is a niche for a bust or image, while over the inside of the walls may still be seen a coating of rose- coloured plaster.
Now, as a mere subject for the play of fancy, I do think a bit of Roman architectur...e, standing above ground like an ordinary Norman keep, is much more stimulating than any amount of ex- cavated work. The fragment of the basilica wall at Uriconium, near Shrewsbury, the white city of Llywrch Hen, destroyed by the early Saxons, always seems to me so much more suggestive, looming thus mysteriously above the stubbles and turnips of a Shropshire landscape, than all the acres of excavated buildings sunk in the ground around it. How much more then does this Roman dwelling house, perhaps the sole survivor of that wonderful, almost inconceivable epoch of our island story, stir one's fancy to vain endeavours to picture it.
