What reading level is Chapters On the Common Things of the Sea Coast book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Iodine is the powerful remedy used in cases of those swellings in the neck termed goitre ; and Professor Lindley observes, that it is a curious fact that the stems of a sea-weed are sold in the shops and chewed by the inhabitants of South America, wherever goitre is prevalent, for its cure. This remedy is by them termed goitre-stick, and appears to belong to the Laminariese. To the same tribe belongs also that wonderful sea-weed, called Ever- lasting Bladder-thread (Macrocystispyrifera), which ...navigators have described as being from five hun- dred to fifteen hundred feet long, and pieces of which have, by measurement, been proved to be three hundred feet in length. It is a remarkably elegant plant, its stalks not thicker than a finger, and its upper branches no larger than a packthread, with narrow leaves, seven or eight feet long, while at the base of each is a strong air-vessel, without whose aid it could not support its great length in the waters. It has a strong root, which holds it fast to its craggy rocky home.
