What reading level is The Legend of Perseus: a Study of Tradition in Story Custom And Belief: book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The substitution has favoured the idea of transfer of disease, which has thus become the ordinary intention of the rite in later times.^ ' This intention, however, is by no means universal. Some instances to the contrary have already been given. I may add to them that in Belgium, in spite of certain examples like that of Saint Etto's Cross, SACRED WELLS AND TREES 229 But I cannot close this inquiry without referring to one or two other ceremonies not quite so easily deciphered.
The first is rep...orted by a German writer whose authority for the statement I have been unable to trace. He says it is the custom in Wales for a bride and bridegroom to go and lie down beside a well or fountain and throw in pins as a pledge of the new relation into which they have entered.
And he adds that in clearing out an old Roman well in the Isle of Wight, about the year 1840, some bushels of ancient British pins for the clothes were found.^ Whether or not the British pins are to be connected with the alleged custom in Wales, it is difficult to account for a collection of pins in such a situation except upon the supposition that they were purposely thrown into the well.
