To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
E. Trestle] table.
Item, one long chair. Item, one green chair.
Item, one hanging candlestick of laten. Item, two little bells. 1 Candles were the most common means of lighting at this time. When we remember how comparatively costly they were, it is difficult to believe that most houses were ever well lighted. We have already seen Fitzherbert's advice to the master of the house that he should not allow his family to sit up late at night, burning candles and fuel unnecessarily. The difficulty of... fattening medieval cattle made the price of tallow sometimes amount to four times that of lean meat. 2 Most families, however, provided themselves with a cheap substitute in the form of the home-made rush-light. This was manufactured by using a strip of rush for the wick, which was dipped into the melted waste fats of the kitchen. Naturally these home-made articles were only a partial success, and gave a poor uncertain light. Better articles were produced by the chandlers, which were made of wax or tallow, and had a cotton wick.
