What reading level is The Past Condition of Organic Nature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
4), so that the first deposit is carriedno farther than 'a', forming the bed Al, and the coarse no fartherthan 'b', forming the bed B1, the result will be the formation of twocontinuous beds, one of fine sediment (A A1) over-lapping another ofcoarse sediment (B B1). Now suppose the whole sea-bottom is raised up, and a section exposed about the point Al; no doubt, 'at this spot', theupper bed is younger than the lower. But we should obviously greatly errif we concluded that the mass of the upper... bed at A was younger thanthe lower bed at B; for we have just seen that they are contemporaneousdeposits. Still more should we be in error if we supposed the upper bedat A to be younger than the continuation of the lower bed at Bl; forA was deposited long before B1. In fine, if, instead of comparingimmediately adjacent parts of two beds, one of which lies upon another, we compare distant parts, it is quite possible that the upper may be anynumber of years older than the under, and the under any number of yearsyounger than the upper.
