What reading level is Reminiscences of European Travel / By Andrew P. Peabody book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, we have reason to believe that in Rome the second story was always of wood, and if POMPEIAN HOUSES. 207 this was the case in Pompeii, there may have been an indefinite number of second stories that have left no vestige of their existence. As most of the light for the house was received from above, it is probable that the second story, where it existed, did not wholly cover the first. There were often gar- dens occupying a part of the roof. On the lower story there were seldom, if ever..., windows opening upon the street ; but there is ground for supposing that there were outside windows in the walls of sec- ond-story apartments. Panes of glass, even framed windows, have been found in Pompeii ; but it is hardly probable that they were in general use.
Chimneys are seen in connection with bath-rooms and bake-houses, but none in private dwellings.
There are traces, in a few instances, of the con- ducting of heat by pipes from the bath-room to the triclinium and other private apartments ; but prob- ably, braziers were used for the most part on the few days in the year when artificial heat was needed for comfort.
