What reading level is The Life And Discoveries of Michael Faraday book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


One of his proofs of the identity of the electricity from different sources was the demonstration that in every case it was able to produce the decomposition of certain chemical compounds into their elements, and his attention ELECTRICAL RESEARCHES 39 was thus directed to the relation between electricity and chemical attraction, that force which binds together the atoms of a compound substance in such close and inti- mate union. It had long been known that this chemical union could be dissolved
... by electrical action. Davy had employed the method in the researches which resulted in the discovery of potassium and the alkali metals, but little was known of the laws or mechanism of the action. It was generally assumed that the wires by which the current entered and left the decomposing substance acted like positively and negatively charged conductors, and by their electrical attraction tore the reluctant atoms from the compound molecule.
Faraday saw that this hypothesis would not work. He knew that by suitable arrangements the strongest chemical compounds could be broken up by the feeblest currents.
