What reading level is Evolution of the Thermometer 1592 1743 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
from freezing-point of water to 90 a tempera- ture equal to that of warm water capable of being endured by the hand held still, certainly a very vague standard but perhaps sufficiently accurate for vegetable life.
The proper temperatures for specified plants were as follows, the degrees being those given by Hales.
HALES' TABLE.
Melon thistles . . . 31 Ananas . . . . 29 Piamento ... 26 Euphorbium . . . . 24 Cereus . . . . 21 Aloes .... 19 Indian figs . . . 16 Ficoides . . . . 14 Oranges . . . 12... Mistles .... 9 (Phil. Trans. , Apr. -June, 1727. ) These instruments were used by the eminent botanist, Rev. Stephen Hales, who describes them in his "Vegetable Statics, " 1727 (p. 61). Dr. Hales remarks that "64 of these degrees is nearly equal to the heat of the blood of ani- mals, " which he determined by placing the "ball of the thermometer in the blood of an expiring ox. " The "temperate" point was about 1 8 of these degrees.
REAUMUR AND CELSIUS. Si Reaumur, who next sought to improve the thermometer, was one of the most popular sa- vants in France ; his position in the world of science as well as in that of society, was far more conspicuous than that of the humble ar- tisan Fahrenheit, and his aristocratic station is evidenced by his full name : Rend Antoine Ferchault, Seigneur de Reaumur, des Angles et de la Bermondiere.
