What reading level is Young Folks' Treasury 8 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is well known that peat is used as a fuel by many people, especially the peasantry of the old countries. If peat is pressed to a sufficient degree of hardness it burns in a manner not unlike some forms of coal. Peat is a vegetable formation and has been formed by the rank growth of various kinds of vegetation in swampy places. Of course, it lacks the purity of the coal that was formed during the carboniferous age, because of the much slower growth of vegetation now than during that time, and... the opportunity that peat bogs offer for an intermixture of earthy with the vegetable matter. The fact that we find the imprint of trees and ferns and other vegetable growth of tropical varieties, as well as the fossils of reptiles, imbedded in the coal measures, proves that at one time this stratum was at the land surface of the earth. We also find that all the formations of the Secondary and Tertiary periods are on top of the coal — and this shows that after the age of rank vegetable growth there was a sinking of the earth in many places far down into the ocean — so that vast layers of rock formed on top of these beds of vegetable matter.
