What reading level is A Guide to Annapolis And the Naval Academy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The triple door- 36 ANNAPOLIS AND THE NAVAL ACADEMY way is fitted with bronze doors, and the approach is Ranked by four fine specimens of Spanish and French guns taken at Vera Cruz. The first two are of French manufacture; at the left, " Le Gaillard " (The Im- petuous), of 1748; at the right, "Mars," of 1755.
The two flanking the doorways are Spanish ; at the left, " El Baiazeto," of 1747; to right, " El Meneleas," 1732. The surfaces of these guns are richly orna- mented with carved designs in ...low relief.
As you pass the doors, you find yourself in .the ro- tunda, which affords the finest interior effect in the Academy. The floor is patterned in different colored marbles, the walls are of solid limestone, and the vault- ing is covered with plaster, which the architect in- tended to have decorated with fresco. The plan of the rotunda is admirable in its design, lighting, and pro- portions ; the only defect, the darkness of the corri- dors leading to right and left, being due to an admin- istrative change in the architect's original drawing.
