What reading level is The Theory of book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Whilst the elevation of the solidifying point described here proves white phosphorus to be complex, this complexity is borne out by yet another phenomenon, the discussion of which is therefore relevant here.
This liquid, for example, has often been kept for days at the ordinary temperature, that is to say at about 26 below the unary solidifying point. But in this case there is this peculiarity : this property of liquid phosphorus depends to a great extent on the previous history of the substanc
...e.
If, for example, a tube filled with white phosphorus heated to 100 is suddenly plunged into a bath of water at room temperature, liquid phosphorus is never obtained. After a few seconds spontaneous crystalli- sation always takes place. Even when the narrowest capillaries were employed, thus completely excluding currents, this phenomenon was always observed, and hence its origin is not to be found in the existence of such currents.
From this simple but significant experiment, it follows, therefore, that rapidly cooled liquid phosphorus is much more pronouncedly metastable than the slowly cooled liquid, from which it is clear that rapidly cooled phosphorus is not in inner equilibrium.
