What reading level is Philps Washington Described a Complete View of the American Capital And the D book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The grand and imposing archi- tecture still remains firm, like the Constitution, bidding defiance, as it were, to all change. It is semicircular in form, 95 feet in length, and 60 feet in height to the apex of the vaulted ceiling. Twenty-four massive Corinthian columns, of variegated green breccia, support the entabla- ture, from which springs the domed ceiling, beautifully painted in panel to imitate that of the Pantheon at Rome. From the centre of the ceiling rises a handsomely painted cupola..., through which the light is admitted. In the tym- panum of the arch stands a colossal statue of Liberty, modeled in plaster, by Signor Causici. Beneath this figure, upon the entablature, is the American eagle, modeled from life, and cut in sandstone, by Signor Vala- perti. Over the main entrance from the rotunda, is a beautiful statue, by Franzoni, representing History stand- ing in a winged car, the wheel of which, resting on a globe, forms the face of a clock. T The figure lends a listening ear, and, with pen and volume in hand, seems about to record the events as time rolls on.
