What reading level is Story of a Celebration Bridgehampton Long Island 1660 1910 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems rather incongruous, that while it cost 4 shillings and 6 pence to make a pair of leather breeches, the buttons placed on them cost 6 shillings and 2 pence. A man at the present time would hardly have to work two days to buy buttons enough for his trousers. A good felt hat coat 19 shillings and six pence. Taking everything into consideration this was just about the same as if a common hat now would cost $8. A felt hat suitable for a slave to wear cost 4 shillings. Something more than he... could earn by a day's work. The French tailor working three days and his apprentice for two days, together earned 15 shillings, or SI. 88 Cloth for a greatcoat and trimmings cost £l, 13s9d, or $4 21. This was prob- ably home-made cloth. A laboring man would have to work more than a week to earn that.
It would hardly seem possible that under such cir- cumstances much money would be spent for luxuries, but they did spend a good deal, and the principal ex- pense was for silver ware and on that point we have abundant and explicit information.
