What reading level is Pictures of Europe, Framed in Ideas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Within, the walls are hung with paintings representing whatever is most grand and touching in Christian annals, crowned by the birth and crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord. If one did not know the fiicts, it might appear like practising on his credulity to tell him, that churches, not alone in the great cities of the continent, but in the lesser towns, display an expenditure in canvas and statuary exceeding the bestowments upon most of the costlier temples in the capitals of our land.
The... spirit of religion is, indeed, not to be measured by the size and splendor of cathedrals ; but by many things beside, more important. But we cannot help regarding such a holy place as the hand of art brings, for one of the best of its doings, to the em- brace of piety, among the striking proofs that man was made to pay his devotions, through the chief of his accomplishments, to the first Builder of the world. If the other triumphs of art, for our con- venience or luxury, have in them an intent and profit, — these most of all.
