What reading level is Comparative Architecture : a Paper Read Before the American Institute of Architects At Its Twenty-Fifth Annual Convention, Boston, Massachusetts, October 29th, 1891 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reasons for the prevalency of certain forms under certain con- ditions are given, and the art is no longer the product of the imagination, the creature of the fancy, but the natural out- come of conditions of very varied nature, originating under varied circumstances.
It would require more space than can here be taken were I to take some points in architectural history and illustrate by one or two examples what I mean by the comparative treatment. I shall not, therefore, undertake this task, bu...t the more closely the reasons of architecture are examined the less spontaneous it appears, the closer it approaches the domain of law. Ornament remains outside any such influ- ence, and the personal element, as has already been noted, thoroughly prevents architecture from being regarded as the product of an evolution, as is a plant or an animal ; but it is not the result of personal whim, fancy, pleasure or imagina- tion. The Assyrians did not build their immense walls, the Romans their ponderous arches and vaults, from mere fancy or a deliberate desire to produce big buildings.
