What reading level is Popular Description of Sir John Soane's House, Museum, & Library book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The fragments of Grecian and Roman sculpture, whether parts of friezes, cornices, or animals, are executed with singular elegance, and chiselled so finely, that it would be impossible for the hardest metals to represent them with more sharpness, or the freest pencil to depict them with more flow- ing grace or satisfactory accuracy. These remarks apply more particularly to the. specimens over the chimney-piece and on the sides of the window, in the Study, which well merits its name ; since no ex...traneous object whatever meets the view, and the eye assists the mind by directing it to that which best deserves the contemplation of the Artist.
The same perception of retirement and of abun- dant subjects for meditation is continued in the Dressing-room and adjacent recess, whether we look towards the ' Central Court ' on the right, or the ruins of the ' Monk's Monastery ' on the left.
The former presents objects of architectural interest classical in character, the latter a prodigious num- ber of antique heads and other ornaments from mediaeval and other buildings.
