What reading level is The History of the Boston Medical Library book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thomas Fillebrown was particularly active in inducing the owners of these books to transfer them to our care, and he continued his exertions until the section was in a most satisfactory condi- tion. Dr. Chandler, Dean of the Dental Faculty, and Dr. Jacob Williams had also been instru- mental in the same direction.
In 1891 a building for business purposes w^as begun in the rear of the Library only twenty feet away. Its height, eighty-five feet, was sufficient to cut off much of the light from ou...r rear windows and to make artificial light necessary. This and the lack of room for books made it very desirable that a change of location should be made. The St. Botolph Street land was nearly paid for, but money for a building of sufficient size was not in sight. The house and land, 19 Boylston Place, were assessed for $11, 300 and there was a building [99] THE BOSTON MEDICAL LIBRARY fund of $9, 300, but a building to cover ten thou- sand square feet would cost at least $100, 000. Times were generally hard, and as medical libraries are thought to be luxuries, like clubs, and not necessities, it never seemed to be the right time to start an active campaign for subscriptions.
