What reading level is Natural History Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

What they took for snoring was the cry of the young birds for food. I had fully satisfied myself on this score some years ago. However, in December 1823, I was much astonished to hear this same snoring kind of noise, which had been so common in the month of July. On ascending the ruin, I found a brood of young owls in the apartment.
Upon this ruin is placed a perch, about a foot from the hole at which the owls enter. Sometimes at mid-day, when the weather is gloomy, you may see an owl upon it,
...apparently enjoying the refresh- ing diurnal breeze. This year (-1831) a pair of barn owls hatched their young, on the yth of September, in a sycamore tree near the old ruined gateway.
If this useful bird caught its food by day, * instead of hunting for it by night, mankind would have ocular demonstration of its utility in thinning the country of mice ; and it would be protected and encouraged everywhere. It would be with us what the ibis was with the Egyptians. When it has young, it will bring a mouse to the nest about every twelve or fifteen minutes.
