What reading level is Manual of Geology Practical And Theoretical book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

(1. ) That the convulsive movements which wasted the chalk of England, and raised its originally deep strata to a littoral and estuary situation, were also experienced in the basin of Paris. (2. ) That in this estuary irregular deposits happened, both marine and fresh water, the latter prevailing in particular places more than in the correspond- ing basins of England, and recognized by distinct layers of fluviatile mollusca, sometimes alternating with deposits containing a few marine shells. Th...e basin of Paris seems therefore to have been at first an estuary, admitting into it considerable currents of fresh water from rivers or lakes, containing shells, crocodiles, and turtles, and transporting vegetables ; but the deposits were generally more tran- quil than the contemporaneous, or rather somewhat earlier, products of England.
The " lower marine" group, or calcaire grossier, and its coeval and associated sandstones, form the principal and characteristic rock of the Paris basin, in which the vast number of marine shells occur.
