What reading level is The Past And the Present book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A devout Christian inquirer, like SiLLiMAN, immovably convinced of the truth of the Ploly Scriptures, could not, and would not decide such a question without long and conscientious study, and above all, the fullest examination of the facts.
The two contending theories, at that time struggling for mastery, were the aqueous, or that of Werner, who attributed the structure and present condition of the earth wholly to the agency of water ; and the igneous, or that of Hu'iton, " who " had no faith i...n water, and was for fire alone." The struggle has been graphically and characteristically depicted by Dana, our highest geological authority, " as when fire and water were " in violent conflict when the earth itself was evolved from " chaos," so, out of the conflict at Edinburgh, " emerged the " noble science of geology." Amono; the liveliest and most cherished memories of our Class of 1814, there can be none more clear and vivid than those splendid and most attractive lectures we heard from SiLLBiAN ; but I am confident that all of us now present will unite in declaring that, up to 1814, he had pronounced no definite decision on the two contending geological theories.
