What reading level is The Post in Grant And Farm book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Nichols Progress of James /. , it is stated that the number of carts employed when the sovereign went on progress was, about the year 1604, reduced from 600 to 220! And even when the king moved about, not in a for- mal progress, it is probable that large orders were o-iven for horses. In an account of the number of post horses taken up at Royston by four o'clock in the morning of one day in February 1638, it is recorded that, from nine- teen parishes, 200 horses were so taken up, each parish... contributing from six to fourteen horses. That the duties of the postmaster were more than usually onerous, is recognised in the fact that he and the postmaster of Newmarket, where there was another royal 146 TIJE POST IN GRANT AND FARM hunting seat, were paid (or were supposed to be paid) on the highest scale allowed to post- masters, namely, 4s. 4d. A day, as will be seen by the list of wages previously given. But all this levying of horses was ex- tremely burdensome and irritating to the people, who, however, do not appear to have submitted quietly to the infliction.
