What reading level is Letters On Italy Illustrated By Engravings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
House of Catullus. 37 Catullus should have become the retreat of austerity ; but it may be remarked, that we ought generally to seek for the traces of the ancient villas on the scite of the convents. If there ex- isted in the middle ages any vast and magnificent, but half- ruined building, it was converted into a church, and its de- pendant buildings became the habitations of the ministers of religion. In examining the houses of Pompeii, or in reading the description of an ancient villa, we per...ceive the most faith- ful imitation of them in the modern monasteries. The courts, surrounded by porticoes to walk in, and from which branch the chambers without any other communication between them ; the basins which adorn them, the terraces or covered galleries, the oratories in the gardens, even the churcliL's with the chapels often built like the halls of baths, all offer striking analogies to the houses of the ancients. It is difficult to find a situation which agrees better than this with the idea which may be formed of the habitation of Ca- tullus.
