What reading level is The Gardens And Menagerie of the Zoological Society Delineated book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The characters given by Pliny, Solinus, and Apuleius, among the naturalists, and the equally expressive phrases of Oppian and Ovid among the poets, make no allusion to any of those marks by which the Alexandrine Parrakeet is obviously distin- guished : it is therefore probable that the Rose-ringed species was that with which they were most familiar, although the Alexandrine and one or two others must have been also occasionally introduced. That the spe- cies before us was extensively known, and... held in high estimation on account of the brilliancy of its plumage, the docility of its manners, and its imitative powers of voice, is proved by innumerable passages in the classical writers, of Rome more especially, from the earliest times of the empire to a very late period of its annals. It seems also to have been the bird which was commonly known to our ancestors under the name of Parrot or of Popinjay, and is strikingly indicated by Skelton, in all its most essential characters, in his singular poem enti- tled " Speake Parrot," written in the reign of King Henry the Eighth.
