What reading level is Memorials of Old Wiltshire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Among these addressing bodies we find the Salisbury municipality.
Almost immediately after these events — that is, early in May, 1710 — Bishop Burnet returned to his See. The Corporation at once waited on him, and met with an amicable reception ; " His countenance," sneers an opponent, " smiling as the wine, his words smoother than oil." Soon, however, a transformation took place. News of the bonfires and the address reached his horrified Lordship. Fresh from his London experience, the Bishop n...o doubt inclined to exaggerate the import of a little disorderly triumph ; while, on the other hand, we can hardly accept the modest estimate of his opponents : " A few boys, it seems, had in the streets raked up some straw, had got a few faggots, and stood round their bonfire ; an idle fellow or two, that had as much wit as they, bestowed, forsooth, a little drink upon the frolic." How- ever this may be, his Lordship's spleen was raised, and in his own Cathedral, on the Sunday following, he seized the opportunity of preaching at the city fathers.
