What reading level is London in English Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The re- building which followed in 1680 and the sub- sequent years put Christ's Hospital into the general shape in which the seven-year-old Charles Lamb found it when he entered in 1782.
The gentle "Elia" is a little amusing in his ingenious attempts to show that Christ's Hospital was not a "charity school" for foundlings and the children of the poor. If circumlocution were all LONDON OF LAMB AND BYRON 207 that was necessary, the trick would be turned in the sentence which explains that the sch...ool served "to comfort the desponding parent with the thought that, without diminishing the stock which is imperiously demanded to furnish the more pressing and homely wants of our nature, he has disposed of one or perhaps more out of a numerous offspring." He points out that the establishment was antique and magnificent in its appointments, generous and attentive in its care of the hundreds of boys — and then spoils all by referring to them as "sons of charity." So they truly were, Charity acting in loco parentis while they were in her keeping.
