What reading level is A History of the Earth And Animated Nature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even Pliny, the best naturalist, has asserted, that they instantly die when taken out of the water; but Rondelet, on the con- trary, assures us, that he has seen a dolphin carried alive from Montpelier to Lyons.
The moderns have more just notions of these animals, and have got over the many fables, which every day^s experience contradicts. Indeed their numbers are so great, and, though shy, they are so often taken, that such peculiarities, if they were possessed of any, would have been long sin...ce ascertained. They are found, the porpoise especially, in such vast numbers, in all parts of the sea that surrounds this kingdom, that they are sometimes noxious to seamen, when they sail in small vessels. In some places they almost darken the water as they rise to take breath, and particularly before bad weather, are much agitated, swimming against the wind, and tumbling about with unusual violence.
Whether these motions be the gambols of pleasure, or the agitations of terror, is not well known.
