What reading level is Paris From the Earliest Period to the Present Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The bourgeois monarchy of Louis-Philippe was made the object of a storm of ridicule on the part of the Parisian wits and caricaturists from which it has never entirely recovered. The " umbrella *' of the Orleans family, which the ribald press of that day made the emblem of their royalty, still figures in the lam- poons addressed to the present pretender. The caricature of the royal physiognomy as a pear is one of the most famous in history.
Louis-Philippe wore his hair piled in a species of pyr...amid over his forehead, which lent plausibility to this defamation ; this pyramid was known as the toupet, and was naturally largely imitated; those whose locks were not sufficient in quantity for the purpose, purchased false ones. Whiskers were also in fashion, but not moustaches, and no official functionary was permitted to wear hair under his nose. The Saint- Simoniens and those who entitled themselves disjeune France alone wore the hair long and pendant.
Digitized by VjOOQIC THE COURT AND THE UPPER CLASSES 209 and the toupet gradually lowered its altitude and finally dis- appeared, to give place to hair smoothed down and parted strongly on one side, generally the left.
