What reading level is Notes And Queries, Number 23, April 6, 1850 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Demosth._, c. 8.).
J.E.B. MAYOR.
_Anglo-Saxon MS. of Orosius_ (No. 20. p. 313.).--It may gratify Mr.
Singer to be informed that the Lauderdale MS., formerly in the library at Ham House, is now preserved, with several other {372} valuable manuscripts and books, in the library at Helmingham Hall, Suffolk, the seat of the Tollemache family.
M.
_Golden Frog_.--Ingenious as is the suggestion of "R.R." (No. 18. p.
282.), that Sir John Poley stuck a golden frog in his ear from his affection for _tadpo...les_, I think "R.R.'s" "Rowley Poley" may be dismissed with the "_gammon_ and spinach" of the amorous frog to which he alludes.
Conceiving that the origin of so singular a badge could hardly fail to be commemorated by some tradition in the family, I have made inquiry of one of Sir John Poley's descendants, and I regret to hear from him that "they have no authentic tradition respecting it, but that they have always believed that it had some connection with the service Sir John rendered in the Low Countries, where he distinguished himself much by his military achievements." To the Low Countries, then, the land of frogs, we must turn for the solution of the enigma.
