What reading level is A Compendium of Natural Philosophy Adapted to the Use of the General Reader a book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is evident that this weight, were there nothing to arrest' it, would descend by the force of gravity with accelerated velocity. It endeavors thus to descend, and hence exerts the required force on the pallets of the pendu- lum. For, every time the pendulum performs a double vibration*, (returning to the same point from which it set out) a tooth of the wheel escapes, * and the wheel runs down until the next tooth strikes upon the pallet, and thus gives it the impulse which is necessary to kee...p up the vibrations.
153. It would seem therefore that, for beating seconds, only a sin- gle wheel is necessary ; nor would any more be absolutely indispen- Fig. 39.
K * Hence this wheel is called the scapement.

sable ; but in this case the weight would descend so fast, as soon to reach the floor, and the clock would require to be wound up again every few minutes. Hence a series of wheels are interposed be- tween the pendulum and the weight, by which the descent of the latter is retarded upon the principle explained in Art.
