To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus, architectm'e in its old age returned to the same form (the square tower and low-pointed roof) 158 NOTES ON SPIRES AND TOWERS.
which had marked its infancy. But it never lost sight of this primitive feature — the tower with its pyramid — plainly showing that the architect would have raised the roof to the iiltitude and dignity of a sjjire if his funds would have permitted.

It then rapidly declined to its former humble elevation and mere utility.
