What reading level is The New Natural History volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

335 the case of the giraffe, which is invariably met with among venerable forests, where innumerable blasted and weather-beaten trunks and stems occur, I have repeatedly been in doubt as to the presence of a troop, until I had recourse to my telescope, and on referring to my savage attendants I have known even their practised eyes deceived, at one time mistaking these dilapidated trunks for camelopards, and again confounding real camelopards with these aged veterans of the forest. " It may be a...dded that the dappled hide of the giraffe blends harmoniously with the splashes of light and shade formed by the sun glinting through the foliage of the trees beneath which the animals are wont to take their stand, and thus intensifies the illusion. It will be observed that in the foregoing account the maximum number of individuals observed in a single herd was forty. Larger numbers have, however, been seen together by other observers in Southern Africa, while in the Sudan Sir S. Baker states that on one occasion he counted seventy-three, on another one hundred and three, and on a third upwards of one hundred and fifty-four individuals in a herd.
