What reading level is Inns And Taverns of Old London, Setting Forth the Historical And Literary Associations of Those Ancient Hostelries, Together With An Account of the Most Notable Coffee-Houses, Clubs, And Pleasure Gardens of the British Metropolis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In short, it is impos- sible to suppose a greater degree of liberty in living." This is somewhat copious for a defi- nition, but it would be difficult to put into smaller compass the various traits which marked the social and gaming clubs of old London.
All those qualities, however, were not in evi- dence from the first. They were a matter of growth, of adaptation to needs as those needs were realized. The evolution of the club in that sense is nowhere better illustrated than in the case of .Wh...ite's, which can claim the proud honour of being the oldest among Lon- don clubs. It was established as a Chocolate- house about 1698, and as such was a resort open to all. Even in those days it was notori- ous for the high play which went on within its walls. Swift has recorded that the Earl of Oxford never passed the building in St.
James's Street without bestowing a curse upon it as the bane of half the English nobility. And a little later it was frankly described as " a Den of Thieves." Fire destroyed the first White's a little more than a generation after it was opened.
