To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The higher windows here are unique. Their deep reces^ses, square, heavy dividing-piers instead of columns, and entire lack of moulding, cornice, or pediment— partake, save for the consoles, of the most rigid purity of the Renaissance. The strong effect obtained by their proportion of openings to the solid, makes this basement thorougly astylar, in spite of the portico. The rustica, though proceeding like all rustica from Florence, is seen chiefly at Rome. Its lightness, obtained by channeling t...he edges of the stones upon one side only and giving therefore a horizontal effect, is somewhat rare in a first story. Its best example is found in another of Bramante's Roman structures, the Palazzo Torlonia. The architect is most daring in his treatment of the doorway ; tor this portico of detached columns upholding a balcony is more of a pure Greek revival, supposedly incongruous to the astylar renaissance ; without the most dexterous management it would utterly destroy all the effect gained by the fine proportion of lights and shadows.
