What reading level is Homespun Or Five And Twenty Years Ago book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When, however, the general result is declared, some enthusiastic partisan always stands ready to give the bell-rope a vigorous twitch or two in honor of his own side, and it is understood all through the town that election is finally over. A new notch has been nicked in the town's history. A great deal of interest is let down upon this occasion through the side-lights ; that is to say, the oyster-stands near the horse-sheds and about the " Green, " as well as the sly drinking THE TOWN MEETING. ...157 scenes over at the tavern, , or in the little back- room of the grocery store, furnish many a needed illustration for the work more legiti- mately performed in the meeting-house. To suppose that a New England election could be successfully conducted without the help of stewed oysters, eaten out of blue-rimmed bowls with pewter spoons, is to betray the ignorance of the person who ventures the con- jecture. Or to believe that a due head of partisan steam could be kept up without regu- lar and repeated levies on the casks of Boston rum, that are tucked away in the dark recesses of the back-store over the way, is evidence of a lack of familiarity with these matters, not to be pardoned in any native commentator.
