What reading level is A Manual of the Mollusca Or a Rudimentary Treatise of Recent And Fossil Shells book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Instead of creeping, they swim with a pair of ciliated fins springing from the sides of the head ; and by this means are often more widely dispersed than we should be led to expect from their adult habits ; thus some sedentary species of calyptraa and chiton have a greater range than the " paper-sailor, " or the ever-drifting ( oceanic-snail.
At this stage, which may fairly be compared with the larval condition of insects, there is scarcely any difference between the young of eolis and aplysia,
... or buccinum and vermetus. (M. Edw. ) The development of the branchiferous gasteropods may be observed with much facility in the common river-snails (paludina] ; which are viviparous, and whose oviducts in early summer contain young in all stages of growth some being a quarter of an inch in diameter.
Fig. GO. T Fig. 61. Paludina vivipara. % Embryos scarcely visible to the naked eye have a well-formed shell, orna- mented with epidermal fringes ; a foot and operculum ; and the head has long delicate tentacula, and very distinct black eyes.
