What reading level is The Civic Survey of Edinburgh book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
G. Fettes Row, of the same monument even — witness St. Stephen's church.
Does not, then, our survey bring its gentle but decided criticism to bear upon much of the town planning of our time, which, with all its specialising upon communications here, or comfortable dwel- lings there, there forgets the industrial development, and here the popular well-being upon which every town essentially depends? I venture deliberately to say that this Exhibition has too many plans of this kind showing various... lack of foresight, though happily not all too late for correction.
Turn now to our aesthetic town planning. TKe builders of the new town at first cared little for the romantic old one they had deserted. Their ideas and tastes were classic, as were those of their time throughout Europe ; and hence the classic High School, still one of the best examples of its Neo-Grecian style. Hence, too, the various classic monuments of the Calton Hill, culminating in the too colossal and unfinished colonnade of the National Monument, and more temperately continued in the Art Galleries of the Mound.
