What reading level is Reviews book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Duchess de la Ferte wore a dress ofreddish-brown velvet, the skirt of which, adjusted in graceful folds, washeld up by big butterflies made of Dresden china; the front was a tablierof cloth of silver, upon which was embroidered an orchestra of musiciansarranged in a pyramidal group, consisting of a series of six ranks ofperformers, with beautiful instruments wrought in raised needle-work. 'Into the night go one and all, ' as Mr. Henley sings in his charmingBallade of Dead Actors.
Many of th...e facts related by M. Lefebure about the embroiderers' guildsare also extremely interesting. Etienne Boileau, in his book of crafts, to which I have already alluded, tells us that a member of the guild wasprohibited from using gold of less value than 'eight sous (about 6s. ) theskein; he was bound to use the best silk, and never to mix thread withsilk, because that made the work false and bad. ' The test or trial pieceprescribed for a worker who was the son of a master-embroiderer was 'asingle figure, a sixth of the natural size, to be shaded in gold'; whilstone not the son of a master was required to produce 'a complete incidentwith many figures.
