What reading level is The book of a Naturalist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Extreme fear of all ophidians may simply result from a vague know- ledge of the fact that some kinds are venomous, that in some rare cases death follows swiftly on their bite, and that, not being sufficiently intelli- gent to distinguish the noxious from the innocuous — at all events while under the domination of a sudden violent emotion — we destroy them all alike, thus adopting Herod's rough-and-ready method of ridding his city of one inconvenient babe by a general massacre of innocents.
It m...ight be objected that in Europe, where animosity to the serpent is greatest, death from snake-bite is hardly to be feared, that Fontana's six thousand experiments with the viper, showing how small is the amount of venom possessed by this species, how rarely it has the power to destroy human life, have been before the world for a century. And although it must be admitted that Fontana's work is not in the hand of every peasant, the fact remains that death from snake-bite is a rare thing in Europe, probably not more than one •person losing his life from this cause for every two hundred and fifty who perish by hydrophobia, of all forms of death the most terrible.
