What reading level is The Pictorial Handbook of London Comprising Its Antiquities Architecture Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Precautions should be taken to secure every library against fire. It is not, however, from the books (as is generally supposed) that the principal danger arises. Books, as they stand in a library, are not easily burnt. Any one who attempted to burn an unopened book would find that he had undertaken no easy task. The prin- cipal danger of fire arises from the fittings and the furniture being of wood. Not only, therefore, should the building, if possible, be fire-proof, but the shelves and the fu...rniture should be of iron. Whatever excess this might cause in the outlay, will be repaid in the safety of the books, and the dura- bility of the materials. " In the same admirable report the su]>ject of catalogues for libraries is also dwelt on, and the inadequate supply of printed catalogues in this country is noticed. It is maintained, that not only should catalogues be printed and published, but all new works should be rapidly entered-up in them. " It would appear that this has not been done with requisite celerity at the British Mu- seum.
