What reading level is On Light in Three Courses Delivered At Aberdeen in November 1883 December 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


phenomena seem to indicate that the bright lines belong to portions of intensely heated gas which have rushed up from the interior of the sun, from what depth of course there is no way of saying, while the spots are due to the absorption of light from below by cooler, though still intensely hot, gases which are commonly descending.
Before I conclude I must briefly refer to a sin- gularly elegant method which M. Cornu has devised for distinguishing between those dark lines of the' solar spectrum
... which owe their origin to the sun and those which are due to absorption of the sun's light by the atmosphere of the earth. He places a lens mounted so as to admit of a rapid lateral oscillating motion in front of the slit of the spectroscope, which for this purpose must be one of very high dispersion, at such a distance as to form an image of the sun on the slit. The amount of lateral motion is such as to bring the two lateral limbs of the sun, near the edges, so as to fall on the slit alternately.
