What reading level is The Jewel House An Account of the Many Romances Connected With the Royal Regal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As in the case of the Bath, this Order is divided into three grades : Grand Commander, Knight Commander, and Companion. It will be noticed that the word " Commander " is used instead of " Cross " in the highest grade. This was out of deference to the Mahomedan subjects of the sovereign, for to a Mahomedan the cross is a Christian symbol, and as such, like ham and bacon, a thing to be avoided.
The Robe of the Grand Commander is of light blue silk with the Badge of the Order embroidered on the le...ft side. The riband, stars, and insignia are THE ORDERS OF CHIVALRY 205 worn by the three grades as described for the Order of the Bath.
The insignia is a very beautiful and valuable jewel. It consists of an onyx cameo, having in the centre the effigy of Queen Victoria. This is set in an oval gold band which contains the motto, " Heaven's Light our Guide/' in diamonds. The three grades are distinguished by the initials G. C. S. I. , K. C. S. I. , and C. S. I. On the death of a member of the Order, his insignia have to be returned, unless his heirs consent to purchase them.
