What reading level is Some Information Concerning Gas Lights book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
126 Cmcerning Gas Lights, sent occasion, to state, that those melanchoty occur- rences which have happened at some gas light establish- ments which I have had an opportunity of examining, were totally occasioned by egregious failures committed in the construction of the machinery. Thus, an ex- plosion very lately took place in a manufactory lighted with coal-gas, in consequence of a large quantity of gas escaping into a building, where it mingled with com- mon air, and was set on fire by the ap...proach of a light- ed candle. That such an accident could happen, i:^ an evident proof that the machinery was erected by a bun- gler, unacquainted with the most essential principles of this art; because such an accident might have been effectually prevented, by adapting a waste pipe to the gasometer and gasometer house. By this means, if more gas had been prepared than the gasometer would contain, the superfluous quantity could never have ac- cumulated, but would have been transported out of the building into the open air, in as an effectual manner as the waste-pipe of a water cistern conveys away the su- perfluous quantity of water, when the cistern is full.
