What reading level is The Origin And Use of the Royston Cave Being the Substance of a Sketch Some Tim book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Below the prison are two deep oven-shaped cavities of unequal sizes ; one of them having a groove cut into the floor. They resemble other niches in different parts of the Cave, and were, probably, first designed for sepulchral deposits ; but in Christian times, they were appropriated to the service of the oratory, and were most likely used as piscinae for the high altar, and as niches for lights, on St. Katharine's day, and other great festivals. Parkin has singularly mistaken the figure in pri...son for that of a man, and supposes the whole to represent the entombment of the Saviour, and Mary Magdalene waiting at the entrance.
Next in succession, comes the High Altar, already described.
IV. — EFFIGY OF ST. KATHARINE.
Immediately beyond the High Altar, appears the figure of St. Katharine in her beatified form, erect, holding the wheel, the instrument of her passion, in her right hand, and wearing a lofty crown, as being of the blood royal of Egypt. There is something singularly imaginative and spectral in this effigy.
