What reading level is Royal Scottish Academy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" If this story is correct, it explains how the Society, having no rent to pay for its exhibition rooms, was able to put by so large a sum as jf i, 8oo in five or six years ; but it also makes the conduct of the greedy members who voted for the division of the fund, doubly inexcusable. It was obviously the duty of the Society to keep in hand sufficient of its profits to make it safe against the time when it would no longer have a gallery put at its disposal rent free. However, if wiser counsels... had prevailed in the Society of Incorporated Artists, and if it had become, as it might well have, rich and influential, there would probably have been no Royal Scottish Academy ; the disappearance of the earlier Association cleared the way for new movements which have left a definite mark on the history of art in Scotland.
The Society, if it had done nothing else, had proved that there was a public prepared to support exhibitions of works of art ; so it is not surprising to find that an effort was quickly made to satisfy the popular demand.
