What reading level is Remarks On the Practice And Policy of Lending Bodleian Printed Books And Manuscr book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Consider the case of books, printed and manuscript, lent out to those on the borrowers' list, a list, be it observed, which, according to the lawyers, has not the least statutable warrant. In the first place, you have not the least assurance or guarantee that any one of them knows how to use a book without damaging it, and, as I have already said, it is an almost uniform and invariable experience, that borrowers of books do damage them. All book-lovers know this so well, that they make very sur...e of their man before they intrust a valuable or well-bound book to him, but we at the Bodleian do not. Pixerecourt, a great collector, was so convinced of this fact that he inscribed over his library door these sadly true lines Tel est le triste sort de tout livre prt Souvent il est perdu, toujours il est gate. How unfit some at least on the borrowers' list are to be intrusted with books, how little notion they have of taking care of them, is clear from many facts which might be mentioned. In the library itself you may see almost any day abundant proof of the unfitness of those admitted to enjoy the privileges which are allowed them.
