What reading level is City Architecture Or Designs for Dwelling Houses Stores Hotels Etc in 20 P book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In execution, where this cannot be done, we think it preferable, in general, to cut them oif perpen- dicularly on the line of the party-wall, rather than to make the cornice return within itself, as it were, against a plain fascia. But it would greatly increase the beauty of street architecture, if neighbours would mutually agree to suffer the upper cornice, at least, to return over each other's premises, or against the adjoining front wall : it might be subsequently cut off, if found objection...able. Perhaps this is the best place to remark upon the prac- tice, justly objected to by a critic in " Putnam's Maga- zine, " of disfiguring the fronts of stores and public buildings, by enormous, tasteless, and superfluous sign- boards. It is utterly throwing money away on architec- tural decoration, if every feature is to be disguised and obliterated from notice by masses of black board and gold letter. The plain parts of the wall which they occupy are Absolutely necessary to give relief to the dressings and ornaments.
