What reading level is A book About Bells book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At midnight Mattins was said, at three in the morning Lauds, at six Prime, at nine Terce ; Sext followed at noon, Nones at three in the afternoon, Vespers at six, and the day was closed with Compline at nine. Thus every three hours throughout both day and night the abbey-bell was heard, not only in cell and cloister, but also in the streets of the town, or the scattered cottages of the hamlet, that lay around the sheltering walls of the religious house. The very early connection between bells a...nd clocks is, however, clearly indicated by the word for a bell in German and in French. Alfred the Great, in translating into the Old English tongue a passage in which the Venerable Bede speaks of campana, renders that word with cluggan, or clock. It is probable, nevertheless, that the earliest clock-bells were not actually sounded mechanically by the horologe, but rung by hand at stated times. The exact date when clocks, in the modern sense, were invented is unknown ; all kinds of devices were tried by the ancients for measuring time, and probably some of these slid, by almost imperceptible gradations, into the primitive dial with its one revolving hand.
