What reading level is The Pursuit of Knowledge Under Difficulties Illustrated By Anecdotes volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
GIORDANI, an Italian engineer and mathema- tician of the seventeenth century, was originally a common soldier on board one of the Pope's gallies. In this situation his capacity and good conduct at- tracted the attention of his admiral ; and as a reward he was promoted to the post of purser of one of the vessels. It was his appointment to this situation which first formed his mind to study. Having ac- counts to keep, he soon found how necessary it was that he should know something of arithmetic,... of which he was till then quite ignorant; and he deter- mined therefore to teach himself the science, which it is said he did without assistance. By pursuing his studies from this commencement, he eventually acquired considerable reputation as a mathematician ; and, having published several able works, was ap- pointed at last to a professorship in the Sapienza College at Rome. Giordani died in the year 1711.
The late Mr. JOHN FRANSHAM, who died at Norwich in 1810, was altogether one of the most eccentric characters to be found in the list of self- educated persons.
