What reading level is Twelve Old Houses West of Chesapeake Bay; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Soon families for miles around were connected by intermarriage, and a sort of aristocracy sprang up — a democratic aristocracy. Men began to live easier, more expansive lives; had time for boundless hospi- tality, horse-racing, good clothes, books, plate, and even family portraits. But there were few extravagances; men had gained sound judgment, substantial information, and varied capacities in administering their extensive affairs and in keeping in touch with London merchants.
There is no bett...er evidence of this general solidarity of character than that found in the old homes that remain. Some of them are still stubbornly resisting change in that most attractive life shaped long ago by the rivers which gave them intercommunication and an outlet to England.
The houses, which often possess just the amount of architectural elements to relieve them from dulness, are a naive version of the Renaissance, and owe their general excellence to English tradition. Men were imbued with the principles of good building and had a right sense of materials.
