What reading level is Irish Ecclesiastical Architecture, With Some Notice of Similar Or Related Work in England, Scotland And Elsewhere book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The truth is that very many years ago I had come to the conclusion that my speculations — for they were only such — as to the age of some of these buildings were not sustainable; that there were in them — however mixed with ornaments of a purely Irish character — others so decidedly Norman and un-Irish that it would be an utter folly to uphold any longer the conjecture that they might be of an ante-Norman period. But I confess what removed all doubt upon the sub- ject from my mind was a passage... which I met with some years ago in reading the life of St. Laurence O'Toole in Messingham's Florilegmm — a passage which had escaped my notice, or been forgotten, when I was writing " The Towers." The passage occurs in cap. ix, where, after describing the great famine experienced by the poor of Glendalough and its neighbourhood while the saint was abbot there, it tells us how the good abbot spent the great riches of the abbey and a treasure deposited with him by his father, " Pauperibus nutriendis et ecclesiis aedificandis!' These two words were as a perfect flood of light poured into my mind.
