What reading level is Some Occasional Papers Read At the Richmond Athenaeum book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It lies in the fact (at least according to Professor Freeman and his school), that the Angle and Saxon were conquerors of another kind from the Goth, Frank, and Burgundian, who overran Gaul, and that the cities of Britain were destroyed and overthrown and lay desolate for years, whereas the cities of Gaul lived on. Exeter almost alone of our cities has lived on through all its stages ; it has ever been the city on. The Exe or Usk, and kept its name and its place through all revolutions, and why... ? Because, according to Mr. Freeman, hitherto the Saxon had been a destroyer. As he moved westward, Winchester, Silchester, Cirencester, Bath, and other Roman settlements had fallen and lain waste; but by the time he had reached Exeter he had become civilized and no more destructive than the Frank or the Goth. Thus it is that so few of our cities can claim so early an origin or boast so long a life. Again, another contrast is to be found in the fact that princely edifices and ducal palaces, the grand houses of nobles and rich merchants are less common in our cities than in France.
