What reading level is Portraits of Patrick Henry book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Patrick Henry was much attached to his half-brother John Syme and gave this miniature by Lawrence Sully to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Sarah [Hoops] Syme, which she in turn gave to her grandson John Syme 1 Adam Hoops' personal estate was appraised at £42,079,12, ^, a no inconsiderable fortune in those days, and he was besides a large landed pro- prietor.
Fig. 33.
Note. — The written endorsement by Chief Justice John Marshall and others that the Sully painting of Henry is "a good likeness" is nothin...g more than a confirmation of the fact that Patrick Henry resembled the Dance portrait of Captain James Cook. This "endorsement" was unknown to me until after this monograph was in print.
C. H. H.
Fleming, who bore the name of her husband, the half-brother of Patrick Henry, and from him it descended on his death, in 1858, to his son John Syme Fleming, its recent owner, so that its history and pedigree are perfect. John Syine Fleming the elder was a distinguished lawyer in Virginia and a man of the first consequence, while his son of the same name holds the chair of Mathematics in the Virginia Mechanics Institute in Richmond, so that the miniature has not been in the ownership of unknown persons, but always in the possession of persons of consideration in their community, which is a most important element in the pedigree of portraits and other objects of vertu.
