What reading level is The Glamour of Waterford book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The English mind failed to com- prehend that the inhabitants of Waterford were recruited from these " hostile counties. " The Charter of King Charles perpetrates an eternal irony. It enacted that when a Waterford citizen went about he carried with him the odour, the very atmosphere, of loyalty. Its free- men were to be free of all poundages " in every port and creek of the Kingdom of Ireland " even should they penetrate into harbours in the O'Driscoll or the MacSweeney country, even if their ...ships should drop anchor under Castle Doe. To accentuate how inviolable a sanctuary 52 of loyalty is Waterford, King Charles decreed that the city should be a county in itself " the County of the City of Waterford " : a county distinct from those " hostile counties " fronting it. A boycott of foreign clothes is sanctioned by the Charter, to encourage these Waterford merchants " who retained their English sir- names " to restore their " former state and dignity. " Every citizen is empowered, actually, to distil Aqua Yitae and Usquebagh, without further licence than that contained in a clause of the Charter.
