What reading level is The Athenian Oracle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Q. Gentlemen, let me trouble your Society to give me your thoughts upon the force of Thunder, Light- ning, Earthquakes, and Eclipses ?
A. Lightning and Thunder may go together, since they are the Effects of one Cause — viz. , your Unctuous Bituminous sort of Vapours are exhaled as other Vapours are, and mounting as high as the middle Region of the Air, they are encompassed on all sides by the extreme coldness of that Air which encloses them, and in order to their Conservation, reunite and take ...fire by Antiperistasis, where, striving to get out by their motion in the Air, they make that Rumbling Noise we call Thunder. But because every Person don't understand what we mean by an Antiperistasis, we shall tell 'em. That Nature does not only pro- duce Beings, but fortifies them against the Assault of their Contraries, both in Vegetative and Animal Beings, which stand upon the Defensive, when they are set upon by external Agents, whose contrary Qualities coming to engage against them, they re- double their Forces, and rally all together as it were into a Body, the better to receive their charge.
