What reading level is Curiosities of Natural History volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
C. Carpendale enables me to partially represent the grand and really magnificent appearance of THE MONARCH OF THE DESERT LYING IN STATE. The artist has endeavoured to give the idea of a very old lion, who has lived his full term of years free and unmolested in his native desert. But the "grey hair came upon him !" his teeth and his claws became unequal to their work, and he could no longer provide himself with food. He wanders along the sandy wil- derness, till, fault and exhausted, his strengt...h will carry him no further. He stumbles against a rock, and falls to rise no more. (See Plate. ) But Mr. Carpendale shall describe his drawing in his own words : THE LION'S TOMB.
Pale twilight, deep'ning, sheds a sober gloom, And dimly lights the lion's lonely tomb ; Th' awakened plunderers of earth and air Around the dying chieftain's couch repair ; 202 THE VERDICT.
While, high in air, with dark and shadowy wing, Behold th' expectant vulture hovering ! Mark how she lingers in the starry sky, And tunes her plaintive, funeral song on high !
