What reading level is Old Wickford the Venice of America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wni. Smith. I suppose he would now be called some- Avhat ''advanced, " as he eschewed the broad, free notions of many of his contemporaries, and saw ''nothing amiss" in the noted Oxford tracts that made such a furore in his time.
His own sermons were plain, yet pungent, and bear worthy comparison with some of the modern pulpit utterances. But his chief attraction lay in his reading of the service. This was incompar- able. When officiating at a marriage, he used no book, and his tone and manner ...made a wonderful impression.
During his incumbency of St. Paul's he wore the black gown and white linen cambric bands, and, as the fashion was, black silk gloves in desk and pulpit. There was no place for a change from surplice to gown. The custom of those days was, when one wore the surplice, or robe of purity, to use it only when reading the service, and to sub- stitute the black, or scholastic gown, when preach- ing or "using one's own words. " Parson Warren had an old-fashioned, wide, white linen surplice, for I have heard from an 176 aiitlieiitic source, that it took my grandiiiotlier three weeks, at intervals, to darn the little bracks that time had made in it, and a member of his Parish who is nearly a hundred years old, speaks of the Parson's awkwardness in changing his robes behind the desk.
