What reading level is Cornish Feasts And Folk-Lore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rundle writes that " a Cornish surgeon recommended a charmer as being more efficacious than himself in curing shingles.
According to the same authority, a liquid composed of bramble and butter-dock leaves is poured on the place, whilst a light stick is waved over the -decoction by the charmer, who repeats an incan- tation." It is popularly supposed in Cornwall that should shingles meet around your waist, you would die. The cures and charms against epilepsy are also very numerous, and very gener...ally used here. Thirty pence are collected at the church door by the person afflicted, from one of the opposite sex, changed for sacrament money (silver), and made into a ring to be worn day and night.
Very lately, at St. Just-in-Penwith, a young woman begged from young men pennies to buy a silver ring, a remedy which she believed would cure her fits. Another charm, which it requires a person of strong nerves to perform, is to walk thrice round a church at mid- night, then enter and stand before the altar.
