What reading level is Manual of Design book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A great cause of the faults noticeable in works in the precious metals seems to be, that they have received their design rather from the artist than the ornamentist ; thus we have figures having no constructive connexion with the work ornamented, but rather of the nature of statuettes perched where- ever a ledge or shelf offers accommodation for them : these are generally as imitatively treated as the material used and the powers of the artist permit, and are applied to inkstands, candelabra, a...nd works of the like kind requiring a purely ornamental consideration.
Many centre-pieces, racing-cups, and testimonials are treated merely as groups would be by the sculptor, although the lowest style of his art has but too frequently been adopted, and imitations of textures, chain and plate mail, and such laborious littlenesses, A MANUAL OF DESIGN. 125 made a point of, rather than that nobler view of art, which, dis- carding miniature and strictly imitative details, seeks by grandeur of form and largeness of manner to make us forget the scale of the work in the dignified style of its treatment.
