What reading level is Notes And Queries, Number 207, October 15, 1853 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Col. 2) that I made the day begin "a minute after midnight. " Arthur Hopton, whom A. E. B. Quotes against me (but the quotation is fromchapter xiv. , not xiii. ), is wrong in his law. The lawyers, from Coke downto our own time, give both days, the natural and artificial, as legal days. See Coke Littleton (Index, _Day_), the current commentators on Blackstone, and the usual law dictionaries.
Nevertheless, this discussion will serve the purpose. No one denies thatthe day of majority now begins at
... midnight: no one pretends to prove, byevidence of decisions, or opinion of writers on law, that it beganotherwise in 1600. How then did Ben Jonson make it begin, as clearlyA. E. B. Shows he does, at six o'clock (meaning probably a certainsunrise)? Hopton throws out the natural day altogether in a work onchronology, and lays down the artificial day as the only one known tolawyers: it is not wonderful that Jonson should have fallen into the samemistake.
A. DE MORGAN.
