What reading level is An Essay On the Physiognomy And Physiology of the Present Inhabitants of Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the various shades of com- plexion among them will be found proportioned to the time they have been settled in different climates. It must be allowed that we have no know- ledge of the exact era in which any white nation became black, even in the torrid zone. But whenever such a change did take place, there is much cause for concluding that it was, in a great measure, in consequence of its having lapsed into the savage state ; and then, of course, its records would have shared the fate of t...hose of all other savasre nations. And if the temperature of our globe is continually decreas- ing, as some have maintained, the greater degree of heat in the early ages of the world will alone account for a more rapid change of complexion than can possibly take place at the present day. But, with regard to the influence of climate upon complexion, the fact is so obvious, that it would be but a waste of time to enter into 28 further proofs of it: for as much as, both in Asia and Africa, the original inhabitants nearest the equator are, without exception, dark, and those descendants of Europeans, who are found among them, have lost the florid complexion of their European relatives, and are evidently in a state of approximation to the colour of the aborigines, though civilized habits of life must doubtless secure them against becoming black.
