What reading level is The Practical book of Architecture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Sophia in Constanti- nople, and St. Mark's in Venice.
It will be remembered, further, that Romanesque architecture, developing the vault system of roofing, led directly to the great Gothic style. Romanesque architecture, at its best, was by way of being a hybrid style, a transitional style, and a style never fully devel- oped. It was a style of uneven merit, different parts of -the same building often seeming architecturally meagre, ill-studied, barren and stupid, and others, at the same time,
...architecturally rich, intricate, colour- ful and interesting.
In considering the development in American archi- tecture which has been called the " Romanesque Re- vival, " one must accept the designation as embracing Byzantine derivations as well, and the ''Revival, " it is safe to say, might well have permanently and per- vasively moulded the character of architectural design in this country, had not a "Renaissance Revival" supplanted it, as will be seen later.
Let us consider the status of " style" in American architecture about 1870.
