What reading level is Chicago Astronomical Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Society should have a permanent fund of not less than $So,ooo to enable it to do the work expected of it; and requires not much less than $20,000 more to put the observatory into good working condition — fit to take its place by the side of the other great observatories of the world, in which so many important dis- coveries have been made within the past few years.
The question is sometimes asked, What has the Chicago (Dearborn) Ob^ servatory done for science? It may be answered that it has... done much more than is usuall}' supposed; and would have done very much more but for the fact that impecuniosity has been, from the first, a terrible drag on the wheels of its progress. Once let the institution be placed on a proper working basis, and there can be no doubt that Chicago will take the same leading place in astronomical discovery that she already occupies in business enter- prise and as a commercial centre. To suppose it possible under present conditions, would be as absurd as to expect a Chicago dealer to rival the merchant princes of the East, without one cent of capital or a dollar's worth of credit.
