What reading level is In Memoriam Oliver Marcy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An important part of his life-work consisted in building up a museum. During the course of his labors he classified and labeled more than seventy-two thou- sand zoological, botanical, archaeological, and geological specimens.
Burdened thus with many and diverse IN MEMORIAM duties, it is no wonder he found little time for research and publication in his chosen work; or that his publications fail to rep- resent his activity and his attainments. He wrote numerous articles for weekly papers. About ...sixty of these have come under my notice, and shed much light on his line of thought, the nature of the problems he had to meet, and the traits of his character. Many of the articles are metaphysical in nature, showing that speculative philosophy had strong attractions for him. Many of them discuss the place of natural science subjects in the college curriculum, advocating for them a more important position. Some of them deal with travel and geology. In some of them he opposes " mechanical evo- lution, " advocates catastrophism with his teacher, Buckland, and believes in the ice- berg theory for drift deposits and glacial scratchings, as Lyell at one time did.
