What reading level is Old And Odd Memories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When I was at Oxford, it was told me JOTTINGS ABOUT HAKROW (1850-6) 99 by an old Rugbeian who was naturally indignant that his own great school had been ranked only as a proxime accessit to Public-Schooldom, and who showed by his indignation that he considered the story to be true. Whether true or invented its currency half a century ago proves that, at that time, there was believed to exist a disdainful oHgarchy of three or four Public Schools under the presidency of Eton.
But how was it that ...Harrow, not having a royal nor even, like Winchester, an episcopal foundation, gained a place in this oligarchy ? How came even the most benighted Tories to grant her this precedence over Rugby ? I long ago heard a Rugbeian, afterwards an Oxford professor, give an answer which, so far as it went, was decisive. 'The simple fact is, ' he said, 'that Harrow has been far more than Rugby under aristocratic patronage. ' But this was only to throw the difficulty further back. It is well known that in early Hanoverian times, Eton being Jacobite, Harrow became the Whig Public School.
