What reading level is A Short History of Natural Science And of the Progress of Discovery From the Time of the Greeks to the Present Day. for the Use of Schools And Young Persons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first geologist who gave any real explanation of the facts was Lazzaro Moro, an Italian, born at Friuli in Lom- bardy, in 1687. Moro pointed out, as Woodward had done before him, that the different strata lie in a certain order one above the other, and that within them are imprisoned fossil fishes, shells, corals, and plants, in all countries, and at all heights above the sea. The rocks, said Moro, writing in 1740, must have been soft when these fossils were buried in them, and some must ha...ve been near rivers, because they con- tain fresh-water animals and plants j while others contain only marine fossils, and must have been laid down under the sea.
It is clear, then, that they must all have been formed in lakes or seas, and have been raised up by earthquakes, or thrown out by volcanoes, such as we see taking place from time to time in the world now. This explanation, though rough, was true, and Moro deserves to be remembered as one of the first men who led the way towards a true study of the earth.
