What reading level is Historical Briefs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I showed early a fondness for music, and through life until my deafness became too positive an impedi ment, I would gather tunes and strains quickly by the ear, which mingled with my visible impressions of events and served easily to recall them. My brothers and sisters were also full of music, a natu ral gift inherited perhaps from grandfather, though father played the flute and mother sang simple airs in the earlier years of our childhood. Sometimes BIOGRAPHY. 203 when at a neighbor s house..., in these years, they would put me forward to sing one of the Whig campaign songs with which I was familiar. Of church tunes, too, of psalmody and church organs, I took early cognizance, not to add of churches them selves of various denominations, of their sextons and their bells. So fond was I, while a boy under ten, of seeing a bell swing in the belfry of mill or meet ing-house, throwing out its clear tones and then pausing inverted on the wheel, that I would climb up into an attic window to watch some of these monitors performing their functions together at the appointed hour; and I remember that on the Fourth of July which followed our removal to Boston, I pulled by a string an old dinner bell which I had hung in an upper window of our house, at the hours of sunrise, noon, and sunset, agreeably to the pub lished civic programme of the day; in blended unison, so far as might be, with the metallic friend whose motions beckoned from a church steeple visible not far distant.
