What reading level is Echoes of Europe Or Word Pictures of Travel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The building of St. Peter's extended over the reigns of forty-three Popes, and cost fifty million dollars. The cost of keeping it in repair each year is more than thirty thousand dollars, and it requires the constant attention of more than sixty workmen. The expense of building it was defrayed in part by the sale of indulgences, from which arose Luther's Reformation. Michael Angelo died in his eighty-ninth year, in 1563, when the great dome, which is double, was completed. The Vatican being ope...n to-day to the public, I walked through some of its Tast and interesting halls. You ascend by a splendid stair- case, pass some magnificent courts, see fine statues, great frescoes, and then enter a long corridor, two hundred and thirty yards in length, splendid beyond description, and on each side are ranged pieces of sculpture dug out of Rome's ruins. The collection is unequalled in the world. The mere ruins of Rome have furnished forth a more august collection than all the genius of all times of all other coun- tries : this, too, after the city has been sacked and destroyed eight or ten times, and twenty feet of soil have accumulated ROME.
