What reading level is Sun Dials And Roses of Yesterday Garden Delights Which Are Here Displayed in Ve book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was made by Thomas Wright, Instrument-maker to the King (1720-1750).
152 Sun-dials and Roses of Yesterday Dial made by Thomas Wright.
Mr. Evans says of it, " It must have been a very costly instrument. " I can say of my own dial, that it is one of the most exquisite pieces of brass work I have ever seen. The engraving is as beautiful as on the bridges of old verge-watches. These dials, and other of the costly dials have screws at the corners, by which they can be firmly attached to some fi...xed surface. A portable dial of special construc- tion for latitudes \35 90 is given on page 153. The maker was Augustin of Vienna. This is the only dial I ever saw of this form.
When metal workers were both artists and crafts- men, as they were two hundred years ago, hand- wrought articles varied more in construction and shape than to-day. None of the parts of a dial were turned out in vast numbers, as to-day of simi- lar instruments ; hence the variety, and hence the delight in collection.
A very odd and lovely portable dial was made at Nuremberg and perhaps elsewhere, what is called a goblet- or chalice-dial.
