What reading level is The Harvard College Portrait of Washington : Painted By Edward Savage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In October, 1790, Washington, being then in Boston, re- ceived from the College an expression of gratitude for his services, in a formal address. In replying to it, the President hoped that the " Muses might long enjoy a tranquil residence within the walls of the University." The original picture is not alluded to in these proceedings, and had not apparently at that time been received in Cambridge. It was not placed in Harvard Hall probably till shortly before August 30, 1791, when the Presiden...t and Fellows " voted that the thanks of this Corporation be given to Mr. Edward Savage, portrait painter, for his polite and generous attention to the Uni- versity, in painting a portrait of the President of the United States, taken by him from the life ; and that Mr. Savage's brother be requested to transmit to him this vote." We have direct testimony to the faithfulness of Savage's work as a likeness in the opinion of Josiah Quincy, later President of the College. Mr. Edmund Quincy, in a Life of his father, says that President Quincy always declared " that the portrait by Savage in the College Dining-room in Harvard Hall was the best likeness he had ever seen of Washington, though its merits as a work of art were but small.
