What reading level is Wayside Wisdom a book for Quiet People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Netherhall was the resort of intellectual men in whose company he (Copley) delighted, and the poor were fed daily from his table. " Happy 9 130 A Lost Art.
Robert Copley, to lead so pleasant a life and be remembered by so tender an epitaph ! Here foregathered Drummond— afterwards Archbishop of York, and most courteous and genial of men — Gray, Mason ; and here, too, Herschel, then a hautboy-player in the band of the Durham Militia, first made his bow to an accomplished audience at one of Robe...rt Copley's weekly concerts. To-day, when the music of the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries is being ex- tensively revived, it is with the sense of meeting old friends that we light upon the names of Geminiani, Corelli, Giardini, etc. The works of these masters were performed by Herschel — so says Miller, the organist, who introduced the haut- boy player to the Netherhall critics — " chastely, and according to the original intention of the composers ". Perhaps the quiet peace of those far-away days is exaggerated, and the concerts themselves may have been vastly inferior to what our amateurs, trained in Prague, can now give us ; perhaps, too, the solemn discussions of those grave, courtly and dignified people would seem even a trifle dull and slow to tongues that have learned the art of clipping words and using a polyglot slang in the place of nobly cadenced English.
