What reading level is The Complete Works of Count Rumford volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And yet how easy would it have been to have corrected this fault ! If the door of the fire-place is found to become too hot, send for the bricklayer, and let him put the fire-place farther backward.
There should always be a passage or throat, of a certain length, between the mouth or door of a closed fire-place and the fire-place properly so called, or the cavity occupied by the burning fuel. Where fire-places are of large dimensions, it is very useful (as indeed it is customary) to keep this t...hroat constantly filled and choked up with coal. This coal, which, as there is no supply of air in the passage, does not burn, serves to defend the fire-place door from the heat of the fire. It serves another useful purpose : it gets well warmed, and even heated very hot, before it is pushed forward into the fire-place, which disposes it to take fire instan- taneously, and without cooling the fire-place and de- pressing the fire when it is introduced. If any part of it takes fire while it occupies the throat or passage of the fire-place, it is that part only which is in immediate contact with the burning fuel, and what is so burned is consumed under the most advantageous circum- stances ; for the thick vapour which rises from this coal, as it grows very hot, and which under other less favourable circumstances would not fail to go off in smoke, takes fire in passing over the burning fuel, and burns with a clear bright flame.
