What reading level is Cosmography Or Philosophical Views of the Universe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the evidence of 126 COSMOGRAPHY : greatest value in this connection is derived from earthquakes. The force in these phe- nomena acts, indeed, from within the earth impulsively and spasmodically ; but the result, if sudden and violent, is still the same on the mobility of terrestrial mole- cules. Vast extents of the globe some- times feel the oscillation communicated by these subterranean forces. That of 1755, which concentrated its violence under Por- tugal, produced a radiating oscillation... of molecules over the whole Atlantic mass of the earth and ocean, the whole of conti- nental Europe, and the northern part of Africa. All these prodigious results are produced by the impulsive action of one molecule against another, until the whole hemisphere has felt the impulse given to the first molecule by the subterranean force.
If, then, physical causes, under common observation, produce such sensible and VIEWS OF THE UNIVERSE. 127 extraordinary effects on the earth, why may not the powerful radial forces of the sun, so universal in their action as to be felt in every molecule of a revolving globe (and those antagonistic energies exerted by that globe through every molecule of its mass), — why may not the insensible, but active and positive, exercise of these cen- tral forces exert an effect equally insensible, active, and positive, in producing alternate expansions and contractions of the whole globe, as it recedes from, and draws within, solar influence ?
