What reading level is Myths And Marvels of Astronomy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"That depends on the name of it, " said I "Oh! whatcan the name of it have to do with the sound? 'that which we call arose, ' etc. " "The name has everything to do with it: if it be a flutestop I think it very harsh; but if it be a railway-whistle stop, I thinkit very sweet. " So as to this book: if it be childish, it is clever; ifit be mannish, it is unusually foolish. The flat earth floatingtremulously on the sea; the sun moving always over the flat, giving daywhen near enough, and night when... too far off; the self-luminous moon, with a semi-transparent invisible moon created to give her an eclipsenow and then; the new law of perspective, by which the vanishing of thehull before the masts, usually thought to prove the earth globular, really proves it flat;--all these and other things are well fitted toform exercises for a person who is learning the elements of astronomy. The manner in which the sun dips into the sea, especially in tropicalclimates, upsets the whole. Mungo Park, I think, gives an Africanhypothesis which explains phenomena better than this.
