What reading level is Memorial of James Frothingham Hunnewell Read Before the Bostonian Society On J book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Perhaps he was never what the man of the street is wont to describe as " a good fellow. " Always courteous and urbane, he was also distinguished by a certain self-restraint and reticence that discouraged noisy or undue familiarity. An author of really valu- able books, one might have known him for years with- out learning the fact from his lips. A collector of rare and precious volumes, he was not wont to discuss his treasures. Few, perhaps, even in this Society which he loved, have had the pri...vilege of inspecting that great collection which until his death he fostered in that quiet house beyond the Charles. Is it not fair to assume that this reticence in regard to his achieve- ments and his possessions had its root in modesty and [8] JAMES FROTHINGHAM HUNNEWELL diffidence ? Was there not something here that mod- ern writers and collectors can respect, and perhaps copy to advantage?
Another reason for the reticence we have noted is doubtless to be found in the fact that Mr. Hunnewell possessed a well-stored mind, and was blessed with the imagination of a poet.
