What reading level is A Series of Essays Introductory to the Study of Natural History volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The long-eared bat, the short-eared bat, the great bat, and the horse-shoe bat. They are awkward, ill proportioned animals, and seem to constitute the connecting link between quadrupeds and birds. What are called the wings of the bat, are not composed of feathers, but resemble in consistence the webs on the feet of water-fowls, and are united to its fore-legs. Its flight is laboured, and ill directed. It only flies in the evening, and that only in the summer months, retiring, as the winter appr...oaches, into old buildings, and hollow tree;s, where it remains in a torpid state till spring. The female, of most of the species, pro- duces two young at a time. In warm climates they are more numerous, and the species in general much larger. They are sometimes seen in such large flights as to darken the atmosphere, and two or three kinds of them are said to be so voracious as to attack men ; and fastening on them when asleep, to perfo- rate some large vein, and gorge themselves with blood. The bats of this country live chiefly on in- sects, particularly gnats, which induces them to fre- quent the sides of woods, or to glide along the sur- face of water.
