What reading level is Natural History And Antiquities of Selborne volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A birch tree was cut down upon the premises, and lay for some time in an adja- cent carpenter's shop ; and when a part of the bark was found to be loose it was detached, and the monkey's sarcophagus was revealed, as you have it in the woodcut. It was a great puzzle to me that, while the lower part of the body was so much squeezed up, the head had resisted all pressure from the growth of the tree. I thought at one time that the head had fitted into a decayed cavity of the tree ; but on showing t...he bark adjacent to the head, some experienced connoisseurs of English timber pronounced it to have been living wood when the tree was felled, and added that the said bark was still green, a proof that the tree had lived within two years of 1868. At a neighbouring dinner party in 1869, the late Bishop of Winchester, Dr. S. Wilberforce, was giving us some jokes about Darwin, and I took the opportunity of introducing this dried monkey. An illustrious mock jury was at once impanelled to try the cause of our Darwinian brother's death.
