What reading level is The Church in the Pages of Punch book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This at least is certain, that to the popular mind Lucina is the goddess dispropor- tionately kind to her.
Punch may strew the way of the frequent babe with quips, but when the subject is poverty, not population, he is very much in earnest. Seventy years ago the pay of an assistant priest was poor; his chances of promotion without influence indifferent ; his work often both thankless and laborious ; his treatment at the hands of incumbents in many instances tyrannical and harsh. He could appeal... to Caesar, but he did not always find that living in a large house inclined a Bishop to take large views.
Punch drew picture after picture to bring home to the English mind the res angusta domi of their curates. He shewed it how the kindly consideration "PUNCH" AND THE CURATE 127 of doctor and tradesman for the slender pocket of the curate whilst creditable to them was dis- graceful in the wealthy Church which made it necessary. He thrust upon its notice the Parlia- mentary return of 1847 with the indictment against the Church's generosity that out of 2, 094 curates who were licensed 1, 192 received stipends under 100, and 173 less than 50 a year.
