What reading level is The Faroes And Iceland: Studies in Island Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When a flock of puffins is surprised on the surface of the sea, the birds are just as much alarmed. If they have a little time to escape, they dive and swim away under the water ; but if a steamer comes upon them suddenly, they seem to be unable to make up their minds to this course, and they att^npt to fly. The only way that they can do so is to swim along, using their wings as paddles as well as their leg^, until they can gain sufficient impetus to raise them into the air. At least this is wh...at appears to take place^ for it is probable that they do not intend to use their wings as paddles, but that the length of these organs causes the tips to touch the surface at every stroke until they happen to strike it sufficiently hard, or perhaps rather at the right angle, to lift the unwieldy body to which they are attached. Very often the puffins^ after progressing for some distance over the sea in this quadripedal manner^ change their miads and dive instead of flying; but equally often they succeed in flying at last.
