What reading level is Whales book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When an event of this sort takes place in a populous district, it never fails to prove at least a nine days' wonder, and crowds from far and near are attracted to behold what no description can ever adequately represent. These occurrences have some- times proved eras in the science, and we shall there- fore give a list of the principal of those we have met with in the records of Cetology.
As already hinted, two have been observed which measured one hundred and five feet. One of these was found ...dead, as mentioned by Scorseby, in Davis Straits (Arct. Reg. I. 481); and Captain Clarke measured the skeleton of one near the Columbia River, which extended to one hundred and five feet. Allowing five or six feet for the tail, this appears to be the largest animal of which we have an accurate measurement (Travels to ike Missouri by Captains Lewis and Clarke, p. 422).
. 2, 105 feet, as above.

1, 84 feet, stranded at Boyne in Banffshire at close of seventeenth century, as mentioned by Sir R.
