What reading level is The Old English War-Horse : Or the Great Horse As It Appears, At Intervals, in Contemporary Coins And Pictures During the Centuries of Its Development Into the Shire-Horse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The designs must be compared — not with those executed under the influence of Greek or Roman civilisation, but — with the rude figures in rock inscriptions or the ornamentation upon the weapons and tools of what we now term savage races.
Looking at the representations, in this light, it will be seen that the designer (who is not likely to have seen the fine-skinned, light-boned, thin-fleshed horses of Eastern types) took his ideal horse from having seen a deep-carc:ised, wide-buttocked breed, w...ith profuse mane and tail ; i.e., from a type of horse with many of the characteristics which the Shire-Horse still retains. Before passing by with a contemptuous smile, these efforts of some ambitious artist of nearly 2,000 years ago, it will be wise to notice what he and his rude coins have preserved for us. He has given us contem- porary evidence of the presence within these shores then, and of what may fairly have been expected to be the foundation out of which the noble, heavy, yet active, breed was developed of which this country has so much reason to be proud.
