What reading level is The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences Founded Upon Their History volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Halleri, H. Pilosella, H. Dubium, H. Murorum, &c. Where we see how different may be the kind of origin of the words.
Attempts have been made at various times to form the names of species from those of genera in some more symmetrical manner. Thus some have numbered the species of genus, 1, 2, 3, &c. ; but this method is liable to the inconveniences, first, that it offers nothing for the memory to take hold of; and second, that if a new species intermediate between 1 and 2, 2 and 3, &c. , be disc...overed, it cannot be put in its place. It has also been proposed to mark the species by altering the termi- nation of the genus. Thus AdansonJ, denoting a genus by the name Fonna (Lychnidea), conceived he might mark five of its species by altering the last vowel, Fonna, Fonna-e, Fonna-i, Fonna-o, Fonna-u ; then others by Fonna-ba, Fonna-ka, and so on. This course would be liable to the same evils which have been noticed as belonging to the numerical method.
The names of plants (and the same is true of animals) have in common practice been binary only, consisting of a generic and a specific name.
