What reading level is The Lives of the British Architects From William of Wykeham to Sir William Chambers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Jerman designed a new one which was begun in 1667, but at the time of his death it was not finished, and Cartwright completed the work, as we have seen he did the Royal Exchange. At a subsequent period another fire occurred here (1774) when the Adams added some further decorations to the rebuilt portion ; and in 1866-70 the whole fabric was remodelled.
Another Hall, once attributed inaccurately to Wren, was that of the Haberdashers' Company in Gresham Street which is now generally assigned to J...erman ; while it seems also pretty certain that the lesser architect also designed the Mercers' Hall and Chapel, although as these were not built till 1672, he had, of course, no hand in the superintendence of their actual erection which was probably carried out by Cartwright. The hall is supported by an open arcade, consisting of columns of the Tuscan order, and the interior is lofty and well proportioned, and exhibits some interesting Italian work and an ornamental ceiling in stucco.
Jerman is also credited with the design of the Merchant Taylors' Hall which, however, was not completed till three 1 The Hall is said to have been selected by Hogarth as the scene of Plate VIII.
