What reading level is The Barkeshire Ladys Garland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
31 N OW he's clothed in fine attire, Not inferior to a Squire: Beauty, honour, riches, (tore, What can man defire more?
32 NOTE.
This very curious and original tale, in part historical, is true. At least the incidents are facts.
The scene of the Ballad is laid in Whitley Park, in Berkshire, England, known as "The Abbofs Park, at the entrance of Reading Town' ' {Leland. ) As the story runs, William Kendrick, of Whitley Park, Atmr. , was knighted in 1679. He died in 1685. His only son, Sir Wm. , ...succeeded him to the Baronetcy.
The latter died in 1699, leaving as his heir a daughter, the heroine of this Ballad.
She was married to Benj. Child, Esq. , a young and handsome, but very poor, attorney of Reading. The wed- ding was solemnized in St. Mary's Church, the bride wear- ing a very thick veil.
In 1714. Child was made High Sheriff of Reading. Possibly ten years elapsed between the marriage and his holding of office, which he filled when he was about 32 years of age, for it cannot be supposed that he would have been elevated to such a high position so soon after his marriage from a previously obscure and humble personage.
