What reading level is Natural Theology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems to involve a direct and subtile recognition of complicated numerical rela- tions. It has been suggested that this disposition of leaves on a stem would secure the best exposure of each to the light, and, therefore, once occurring, could be laid hold of and perpetuated by natural selection. This is an explanation of the feeblest character. It hardly yields a shimmer of light. It gives no attention to the immense improbability that such an arrangement should occur, not merely in one plan...t, but generally, in various yet allied ratios, throughout the vegetable kingdom ; and it at- taches a preposterous value to it in the struggle for life. The leaves on a stem soon fall away, and are not so crowded as to make their precise arrange- ment a matter of moment in securing light. In most trees, owing to the irregular development of buds, all trace of the law disappears in the tree as a composite whole. In cones, as those of the pine, and in discs, as those of the sun-flower, the arrange- ment is one simply of interest to the eye, as much so as the corresponding lines of chasing on the back of one's watch.
