What reading level is A History of the Mathematical Theories of Attraction And the Figure of the Earth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

With respect to Laplace's demonstration of his theorem it must be observed that he expressly supposes the sphere to touch the spheroid. Ivory does not advert to this supposition. It is obvious that if this supposition be made the condition re- quired in Lagrange's investigation will be satisfied ; and so that investigation will furnish an adequate proof of Laplace's theorem : see Art. 1200. And by proper precautions we may also fortify the weak part of Laplace's own investigation.
Laplace's sup
...position amounts to the condition, in modern language, that there are to be no singular points on the surface of the spheroid: so that applied to the Earth it would exclude such irregularities as chasms or craters, and ridges or peaks, and mountains or valleys with vertical faces.
No doubt this condition limits to a corresponding degree the range of the theorem about the expansibility of a function in a series of Laplace's functions ; or rather limits Laplace's own de- monstration of it.
1212. We have shewn in Arts.
