What reading level is A Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It will perhaps be objected that the MINIMUM VISIBILE of a man dothreally and in itself contain parts whereby it surpasses that of a mite, though they are not perceivable by the man. To which I answer, theMINIMUM VISIBILE having (in like manner as all other the proper andimmediate objects of sight) been shown not to have any existence withoutthe mind of him who sees it, it follows there cannot be any pan of itthat is not actually perceived, and therefore visible. Now for any objectto contain di...stinct visible parts, and at the same time to be a MINIMUMVISIBILE, is a manifest contradiction.
82. Of these visible points we see at all times an equal number. It isevery whit as great when our view is contracted and bounded by nearobjects as when it is extended to larger and remoter. For it beingimpossible that one MINIMUM VISIBILE should obscure or keep out of sightmote than one other, it is a plain consequence that when my view is onall sides bounded by the walls of my study see just as many visiblepoints as I could, in case that by the removal of the study-walls and allother obstructions, I had a full prospect of the circumjacent fields, mountains, sea, and open firmament: for so long as I am shut up withinthe walls, by their interposition every point of the external objects iscovered from my view: but each point that is seen being able to cover orexclude from sight one only other corresponding point, it follows thatwhilst my sight is confined to those narrow walls I see as many points, or MINIMA VISIBILIA, as I should were those walls away, by looking on allthe external objects whose prospect is intercepted by them.
