What reading level is Newport Cemeteries book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On one side is an inscription in English, recording her age and the year of her death, while another side contains a tribute to Judah Touro's father, Isaac Touro, who was buried in Kingston, Jamaica. The most conspicuous monument is that of Judah Touro. Two of the four sides of the granite pedestal are inscribed in Hebrew and the other two in English. The tribute in English reads : "The last of his name - He inscribed it in the book of Philanthropy. " The Hebrew epitaph is as follows : By right...eousness and integrity he collected his wealth, In charity and for salvation he dispensed it.
Dr. Mendes says that ordinarily in Jewish cemeteries the date of death is expressed in a chronogram formed from some appropriate verse of Scripture, but that there is only one instance of this usage in the cemetery at Newport. On the tomb of Abraham Touro the date is expressed in the verse : " A good name is better than precious oint- ment and the day of death than the day of one's birth. '' Certain let- ters m the Hebrew verse are marked, and taken in their numerical value from the year of death.
