What reading level is A First Lesson in Natural History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
25. Animal, it is not the child that resembles the parent, but the grandchild that resembles the grandparent, and we must go through two gen- erations before we come again to the form with which it started.
The little animals which grow in clusters are * Young Hydroid of Coryne. 4 50 HYDROIDS AND JELLY-FISHES.
all called Hydroids, though there are a great variety of them distinguished from each other by special names, with which I will not bur- den your memory now. Those which are born from the...m are called Jelly-Fishes, though of these also there are a number differing in form and size, having also their special names. You must not fancy from this that these ani- mals are in any way connected with fishes. They are no more like a fish than a bird is like a fish, but this common name has been given to them because anything that lives in the water is apt to be associated with fish by people who know nothing about them, except the fact that they inhabit the sea.
There is one of these Hydroids living as a single animal, not in a community or cluster like the one I have described, which is exces- sively small, perhaps half an inch high, and yet produces some of the largest Jelly-Fishes.
