What reading level is Antique Jewellery And Its Revival book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1826, the field in which he was engaged appearing too small for him, he turned his attention to chemical science, looking for new help, and methods which could advance his art ; and in the same year he was able to give a lecture in the Academy of the Lined at Rome on the chemical processes of the coloiuing of gold, in which he explained the application of electrotype and similar processes to the art of gilding. Several scientific reviews spoke highly of his discoveries, and among them we men...tion with pleasure the ' Kevue de Geneve,' as being pub- lished in the country of the learned De la Rive, who was after- wards one of the discoverers of the modem galvanoplastic process. In not caring to pursue this invention, the elder Castellani showed how little he valued the mere splendour which dazzles the eyes of too many people, but does not con- ceal from ihe sense of the artist an inferior design and still worse taste. About that time the earth which had covered for so many centuries the wonders and treasures of Etruria yielded up to us a part of them.
