What reading level is An Elementary Treatise On Heat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Radiant heat is probably not a substance emitted by a hot body, but an undulatory motion conveyed through a medium which pervades all space. Apart from the difficulty of conceiving space to be traversed by excessively minute particles all moving with the uniform velocity of 186, 000 miles per second, the undulatory theory has furnished abundant evidence that light is due to a progressive wave-like motion in a medium pervading space, and much of this evidence applies likewise to radiant heat. Th...is hypothesis is now very generally received.
It will be convenient here to define the various terms con- nected with undulatory motion. If a stone be dropped into a pool of water, a series of waves consisting of crests and hollows succeeding one another will spread outwards from the centre of disturbance. Now the distance between two contiguous crests or between two contiguous hollows is termed the wave length, because in this distance is embraced the whole variety of motions which together constitute a wave.
