What reading level is History of Architecture in All Countries From the Earliest Times to the Present book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I cannot but repeat my regret that tlie Italians alone, of all the Western Mediaeval builders, showed any predilection for this form of roof. On this side of the Alps it could have been made the most beautiful of archi- tectural forms. In Italy there is no instance of more than moderate success — nothing, indeed, to encourage imitation. Even the example now before us is no exception to these remarks, though one of the boldest efforts of Italian architects. . In plan it ought to have been an oct...agon, but that apparently would have made it too large for their skill to execute, so they met the difficulty by adopting a hexagon, which, though pj-oducing a certain variety of perspective, fits awkwardly wdth the lines of columns, and tAvists the vaults to an unpleasant extent. Still a dome of moderate height, and 58 ft. In diameter, covering the centre of the church, and with sufficient space around to give it dignity, Is a noble and pleasing feature, the merit of which it is impossible to deny.
