What reading level is The Ancient World Microform Or Picturesque Sketches of Creation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are stout and moderately long bones corresponding to the shoulder and thigh bone, a couple of short and flat bones which represent the bones of the fore-arm and the lower part of the leg, and then a succession of bones, oblong and flattened, and extending to some distance, which were enclosed entirely within the skin during the life of the animal, and which formed the solid part of the paddle.
There are several very distinct varieties of form in the different species of Plesiosaurus, and ...amongst them are some in which the head is far larger in proportion, the neck shorter and thicker, and the body more expanded. Others again are remarkable for the large dimensions of the paddles ; and others for different modifications of structure, but all agree sufficiently in the principal character^, and teach us with equal distinctness what were the general habits of the animal. The specimens indicate also very different sizes; but, since in all reptiles the limit of growth is much less strongly determined, and the increase much greater, than in more highly organized animals, it will be sufficient to state that the largest complete specimen yet found is about eighteen feet in length, but that there are fragments of indivi- duals which would seem to have been nearly twice as large.
