What reading level is On the Study of Zoology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let us return to our lobster once more. If we watched the creature inits native element, we should see it climbing actively the submergedrocks, among which it delights to live, by means of its strong legs; orswimming by powerful strokes of its great tail, the appendages of whosesixth joint are spread out into a broad fan-like propeller: seizeit, and it will show you that its great claws are no mean weaponsof offence; suspend a piece of carrion among its haunts, and it willgreedily devour it, te...aring and crushing the flesh by means of itsmultitudinous jaws.
Suppose that we had known nothing of the lobster but as an inert mass, an organic crystal, if I may use the phrase, and that we could suddenlysee it exerting all these powers, what wonderful new ideas and newquestions would arise in our minds! The great new question would be, "How does all this take place?" the chief new idea would be, the ideaof adaptation to purpose, --the notion, that the constituents of animalbodies are not mere unconnected parts, but organs working together toan end.
