What reading level is Sir Christopher Wren And His Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such a consternation seized many of them they scarcely attempted to save their own goods, and those who did were often unsuccessful.
The sky, says Evelyn, was of a fiery aspect like the top of a mighty burning oven, and the light was seen above forty miles round for many nights ; and the air appeared ignited by the preceding hot and sultry sum- mer, which had prepared the materials to conceive the fire, which devoured houses, churches, public halls, the exchange, hospitals, monuments, ornaments..., furniture, goods and everything that came in its way. The noise and cracking, and thunder of the impetuous flames, the shrieking of women and children, the hurry of people, the falling of lofty towers, houses and churches, he de- scribes to have been like a hideous storm, and the at- mosphere so hot as to be almost unbreathable. " God grant mine eyes may never again behold the like,^' writes the afflicted pious Evelyn, " who now saw above ten thousand houses all in one flame !" The scene of devastation became at last so hot that no one was able to approach it, so that people were com- pelled to be awe-struck spectators of a burning city nearly two miles in length, and one in breadth.
