What reading level is Luther Burbank, His Life And Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Thus it appears that the family of the seven ambitious brothers was a dwindling company in the two generations that succeeded their compact, — and expressly because of their compact. In modem terms this seems a case of race suicide.
But it may properly be interpreted in a yet more modem phrase.
What the ambitious brothers and their suc- cessors had done was to practice the art of eugen- ics in three important phases.
They had (1) restricted the number of de- scendants, through preventing the bi
...rth of super- numerary children; (2) they had wisely selected able mates for the procreating member of the family; (3) and they had concentrated the family estates and talents by judicious inbreeding— that is to say, by the union of cousins.
Now note the sequel of this remarkable prac- tice of eugenic principles. The son of the erst- while Bishop of Osnabriick and his brilliant wife became King of one country (George I of Eng- land), and their daughter became Queen of an- other (Sophia CJharlotte of Prussia).
