What reading level is Frederick Law Olmsted And His Work: Franklin Park (Reprinted From House And Garden, July 1906) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr. Olmsted himself first pre- sented it. To him, therefore, belongs the credit for an original, sound and far-reaching idea, an idea that he had to reiterate again and again and bravely defend. The one serious difficulty attached to this idea he also appreciated, as the following quota- tion shows: "There is simply the difficulty connected with it of -4- reconciling the necessary apparatus of public use with the re- quirement of consistency and harmony of expression, and of making such apparat...us sufficiently modest and unobtrusive." As the provision of simple rural scenery, then, is the main object and controlling purpose of a "country park," it is worth while to examine the ways in which such scenery gives pleasure.
There are at least four ways: (1) The spontaneous, unreflecting happiness that all unsophisticated persons feel in free open- air life. This happiness is largely but not entirely physical.
It was well expressed by Oliver Wendell Holmes in his speech at Faneuil Hall in 1876 when public sentiment in Boston in favor of public parks was being aroused.
