What reading level is The White Horses of the West of England With Notices of Some Other Ancient Tur book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The manner of doing it is as follows : a windlass is erected on the top of the hill, immediately over the horse, and from thence chalk is let down in small trucks and spread evenly over the figure. The only disadvantage of this plan is that the first shower of rain that comes on brings down a copious white stream, which extends from the ends of the legs right down to the valley below, and the tracks of the trenches also shew for some time. The result is that until these marks have become oblite...rated, the horse looks as if he were suspended in a sling and mounted upon stilts 300 feet long ! The re-chalking is an operation of some labour and not unattended with risk. In 1876 it occupied three men for a fortnight, and one of the workmen employed was very nearly killed through the giving way of a rope by which a truckful! of chalk was being let down from above. The truck, of course, rushed on with fearful velocity, and the man had barely time to step aside when it dashed past him and buried itself deeply in the ground at the foot of the hill.
