What reading level is A Temple of American History the William L Clements Library book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Richard Storrs was right when he said that the great Brooklyn Bridge was carried across the turbulent waters of the East River on the point of John A. Roebling's pencil. And today we have placed the cornerstone of a home of learning which lay long in the mind and heart of the donor before it took outward and visible form under the skilled hands of the architect. This cornerstone typifies no passing whim or momentary fancy, but rather a settled purpose, a resolution carried to fruition through l...ong years of patient search and sustained effort.
That purpose was first the creation of a library of the original printed sources for the history of the discovery, the exploration and settlement of North America; and later the provision of an adequate and beautiful structure to house that library in fitting fashion to reach its fruition in the work of a great university. Here was an idea and an ambition to fire the imagination of any scholar. It re- mained for a manufacturer and banker not only to conceive the idea but to carry it out through thirty years of devoted labor in hours snatched from the cares of a great business career.
