What reading level is Club Cameos Portraits of the Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Park, the Badminton, and the Turf are the favourite haunts of the man of pleasure. The Portland is sacred to whist. In addition to this tolerably full list, there are a number of other clubs less well known, where the subscriptions are lower, and where the rights of membership can be claimed without any delay. At the accession of George IV. There were but some half-dozen clubs ; there are now close upon a hundred. It is impossible that this increase in the club-system should have attained t...o its present height without affect- ing the current of English life, and altering the course of its stream. A brief comparison between the past and the present will show the nature of the change that has taken place. In former days, when Pall Mall and St. James's-street were crowded with the shops of tailors and of bootmakers, instead of the magnificent palaces that now occupy their site, men led a very different life from that now in vogue. A buck, a macaroni, a Corin- thian the ' swell' of the past lounged into his club to write a letter or to take a hand at whist, and considered such an institution as an indispensable adjunct to the character of a man of fashion as necessary as a know- ledge of French, or to be a connoisseur of china or of old fiddles.
