To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rickman's plan, all entrances to the new Library must be temporary until the whole is com- pleted. Again, in Mr. Rickman's plan, the present Record Room would be immediately destroyed, and the Woodwardian Museum would have one of its windows blocked up ; whilst in Mr. Cockerell's plan they would remain untouched. In the first plan, the Lecture and Apparatus Rooms would come within 10 feet of the side windows of the Divinity School and the Library; in the second plan, the new buildings would be ...nearly in contact with them, but would leave the present large north-west window and the three north-east windows of the Library unobstructed, which would there- fore, upon the whole, continue to be better lighted than under the operation of the other plan, t * It has been asserted, that there would exist great difficulty in sinking the foundations of the New Building so near the old, without endangering its safety : no person however who has witnessed examples of shoring up build- ings, even for the purpose of replacing their foundations, can consider for one moment, such a danger serious : there is no practical builder in Cambridge who would not readily undertake the risk of effecting it.
