What reading level is Wilkes And the City book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Foote, Miller, Colman, Twiss, etc., besides many hundreds which it is not possible to remember. The whole entertain- ment was allowed to be elegant, and the Company departed at three, full of the praises of the Lady Mayoress who for affability, ease, attention, and politeness perhaps is superior to most of her sex.
Much vivacity and wit passed amongst the company, and some humorous strokes were produced by the ladies' feathers. One beautiful woman dropping the plumes of her head, a gentleman pr...esented them to the lady again, with observing, " that he believed this was not the time for molting." CHAPTER XII SOME CITY INSTITUTIONS It has always been the custom to joke about city feasting, and to look upon aldermen of the City as great feeders. It is curious, therefore, to find that Wilkes kept a unique diary,' in which he has recorded the place and occasion of nearly every dinner he attended from 1770, the year he was elected alder- man, until just before the date of his death in 1797.
Some portions are missing, but there are ample particulars for helping us to an understanding about his mode of life, and there are sufficient details to give character and picturesqueness to this part of his career.
