What reading level is The Amateurs Guide to Architecture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
became a full member, i. E. A communicant, he approached the altar end of the building. You will find all but a very few modern churches, built by ignorant people, arranged in this sym- bolical manner. The old American church in Paris had the font by the side of the altar, within the screen, which of course was considered a novelty, and therefore to be admired; but in the new church it is in its proper place.
The towers of these early churches were nearly always detached from the rest of the bu...ilding, especially in Italy, where they are called campa- nili, a word which is commonly used in English books on Architecture. Very few are to be seen in this country, Wilton being one of the few, where the tower is connected with the church by a sort of cloister or passage open at the sides.
The tomb of Theodoric belongs to this period (493 525), and was probably built in imitation of the mole of Hadrian, at Rome. It is a cir- cular, or rather polygonal building, with a roof formed of one enormous slab of stone hollowed out into the form of a flattened dome.
