What reading level is The Romance of Engineering; a Lecture Delivered At the Drexel Institute, February 16, 1916 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Vitruvius is didactic and tedious in places, but he presents his views systematically and with emphasis, and his treatise was pretty generally accepted by the archi- tects of the Renaissance as an unquestioned authority.
To the modern engineer there is much of interest in the writings of Vitruvius. He divides the field of Architecture into three main divisions as follows: I. The Art of Building.
a. The construction of fortified towns and of works for general use in public places — I. For defens...ive purposes — the planning of walls, towers and gates, permanent devices for re- sistance against hostile attacks.
II. For religious purposes — the erection of fanes and temples to the immortal gods.
III. For utilitarian purposes — the provision of meeting places for public use, such as harbors, markets, colonnades, baths, theatres, prome- nades, and all similar arrangements.
b. The putting up of structures for private individuals.
*The latest English translation of the "De Architectura" is by Professors Morgan and Howard of Harvard Uniyersity, with drawings prepared under the direction of Pro- fessor Warren.
