What reading level is Furope Viewed Through American Spectacles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The great candelabrum in the midst of the cathedral was the gift of Napoleon I. The Hohenzollern princes have also made valuable presents here, especially in the last few years. The paintings given by them, representing Bible scenes, nave portraits of the Hohenzollern family introduced. The excuse for this is found in the tradition that Saint Meinrad, from whose sanctity all this wealth has grown, was one of their ancestors.
THE VESPER CHANTS.
There are six great organs among the arches and pil...lars and recesses of the cathedral, and in the rear of the great altar there is a screen, formed of rows of black marble pillars, which conceal from the worshipers the monks who chant the vesper service. Upon several of the side- altars are effigies, life-size, of the saints to whom they are dedicated ; some are nearly skeletons and almost nude, others have swords and plenty of gilt trappings. All are in recumbent postures.
FOUNTAIN OF THE VIRGIN.
In the large sloping court which fronts the cathedral stands the famous fountain of the Virgin, with its fourteen jets of water, surmounted by a bronze image.
