What reading level is Familiar Sketches of Sculpture And Sculptors book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The tablet bore simply this inscription: "Built by William Lawrence, A. D. 1808." It is said that his first attempt at portrait-carving was a copy of the bust of Franklin. But we would rather see his model of " one of his children eating a pie." A bust of his mother, modelled by himself, is said to be very touching. But every one may inspect specimens of his art, in various parts of the United States. At the Athenae- um may now be seen, executed by him, a marble bust of the late Judge Prescott;... a most striking one of the Hon. John Lowell; a bust of Chief Justice Marshall, and one of Digitized by VjOOQIC 128 FAMILIAR SKETCHES OF the Hon. Thomas H. Perkins. We doubt not there are many more of his busts of our dis- tinguished citizens, in other places. When we look upon the figure of Sappho, and the interesting group of Jephthah and his Daughter, we can scarcely believe, as Dunlap tells us, that the creator of these designs, H. Augur, attended in a grocery shop, and made shoes, in his early life.
