What reading level is Melrose Abbey With Notes Descriptive And Historical book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One of the most beautiful niches is on the side of a pinnacle over the west end of the nave ; the canopy is the repre- sentation of a temple, under which stands the image of the Virgin Mary, with the child Jesus in her arms. Tradition says that, in 1649, when the person em- ployed to destroy the statuary struck at this stone, a piece of it fell and hurt his arm, and he was disabled ever afterwards. On the next pinnacle to that is the effigy of St Andrew. It is said that there were formerly seve...nty statues within and without the Abbey. The tower stair runs up the corner formed by the nave and south transept, and is octagonal in form, pierced with niches, and ornamented with some very curious figures; at the upper cornice are beautiful flowers, and faces with leaves in their mouths, and the pinnacle is ornamented to the very top. The bracket of the under niche, on the buttress facing the west, beside this tower, which is much admired by the curious, consists of two figures, representing the blind carry- 22 ing the lame, the lame seemingly in great pain from his position.
