What reading level is Little Sketches Glimpses of Our National Capital book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its simplicity and stateliness excites the admiration of all travelers. The beautiful and perfectly kept grounds that surround it consist of eighteen and a half acres. In looking at this lovely place today, it is hard to picture the chaotic condition in which President and Mrs. Adams found it upon their arrival in 1 800. Excerpts from a letter of Mrs. Adams to her daughter, written directly after they had taken up their abode in the executive mansion, proves not only interesting and amusing, bu...t shows that the American w^oman had, over a hundred years ago, a keen sense of humor. She writes, "Woods are all you see from Baltimore until you reach the city, w^hich is only so in name. ' * '^ * The house is upon a grand and superb scale, requiring about thirty servants to attend and keep the apartments in proper order ' " ' The lighting of the apartments from kitchen to the parlor and chambers is a tax indeed; and the fires w^e are obliged to keep to secure us from daily agues is another very cheering comfort.
