What reading level is Lectures On Natural History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
145 teaches it to avoid danger, and in man reason is brought into action for his self-defence. A moor-hen, whose nest among rushes had been frequently destroyed by a sudden rising of the water in a neighbouring pond, built a nest in a spruce-fir tree near it, at a height of twenty feet from the ground, instinct teaching her that there it would be safe. A similar instance occurred in my own neighbourhood in Richmond Park, where there were some Cape geese. These laid their eggs on an island in th...e middle of the pond, but they were constantly fed upon by water-rats. Finding this to be the case, the geese made their nests in some oak pollard trees near the water, where they laid their eggs and hatched their brood in safety. They then took their young, one by one, in their bills to the pond. I have known a swan, just previous to a sudden rise of a river, add a quantity of mate- rials to her nest, assisted by her mate, so as to raise it above the flood-mark at least two feet, and thus prevented her eggs being chilled.
