What reading level is British Mosses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The intimate structure of the leaf thus enables it to absorb great quantities of water.
But again, the shape of the leaves is in many species adapted to the retention of water. By a retardation of the lateral as compared with the mesial growth, the leaf assumes a boat shape. Often the edges of the leaves are turned over ; the leaf thus affords means of holding water.
Figs. 27 and 28 will enable the reader to follow BEITISH MOSSES.

the foregoing description. Fig. 27 shows a magnified leaf of the Sphagnum acutifolium with a portion of the adjoining stem (s s), of which more hereafter. The edges of the leaf are turned over as may be seen by looking at the extreme point of the leaf (/>) where these foldings over cease. Fig. 28 exhibits a portion of a leaf far more highly magni- fied ; the large cells free from chlorophyll bounded by the narrower cells charged with it will be at once observed as well as the spiral threads developed on the walls of the larger cells, a peculiarity of the leaf of this genus which enables one to detect the presence of its remains so long as any organic structure is retained ; and at the points o o are seen orifices opening from the interior of the cell and admitting water.
