What reading level is The Graphic Arts; a Treatise On the Varieties of Drawing, Painting, And Engraving, in Comparison With Each Other And With Nature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* Why this substance should be called Indian I do not know, as the best of it comes from China. We also call Chinese paper India paper.
In French, more correctly, they are called encre de Chme and papier de Chine, Digitized by Google i8o The Graphic Arts.
If the reader expects good advice from me he will be disap- pointed. The quality of Indian ink may be guessed at by breaking it, but dealers object to this test If the fracture is bright there is a probability that the ink is good ; if the fra...cture is dull the ink is probably bad. A great deal of the Indian ink sold in Europe, without being very bad, is mediocre, and as dif- ferent from the best as tolerable poetry is from the true inspi- ration of the Muse. The only real test of Indian ink is actual use, and it is by mere chance that one hits upon that which is truly and unquestionably excellent. I have possessed two good sticks. One of them was discovered in its hiding-place by a too appreciative friend, who borrowed it, used it for some time, neglected to put it by, and lost it; the other was probably stolen from my bag when travelling, or unfortunately mislaid.
