What reading level is Older England Illustrated By the Anglo Saxon Antiquities in the British Museum book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The collar seems, in the case of royal per- sonages, often to have been of rich fur. In some of the MSS. There is an indication of settings of costly gems all down the gold border. Bishops, and even inferior eccle- siastics, are represented with very highly ornamented mantles, and among the Angles proper with the circular form of brooch.
Our forefathers were eminently practical in their social arrangements; and in their divisions of society into the necessary ranks and classes into which it nat...urally falls, they showed no small amount of skill and discernment. These classes were regularly distinguished by some ex- ternal mark which rendered them familiar to all. There are traces in Scandinavia of such distinctions being espe- cially discernible in the colour of the mantle ; white being the hue of the noviciate soldier, and shown in his shield 102 The Brooch. [LECT.
and war-cloak; blue or red the emblem of nobility or advanced military rank.
