What reading level is Astronomical Essays Historical And Descriptive book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The diameter or "aperture, " as it is called in modern telescopes was about half an inch, and they were contracted near the eye-end to about one-fifth of an inch. That these tubes were used for the purpose mentioned is proved by the fact that a small statuette found in an Indian grave in Bolivia has a tube of this sort in its hand and applied to its eye. These tubes could not have had lenses in them, as glass was quite unknown in America when it \vas discovered by Columbus.
The principle of the... modern telescope seems to have been known for a long time before it was actually applied in practice. Roger Bacon, writing in 1265, describes very clearly the course of luminous rays through lenses, and indicates the arrangement necessary for seeing distant objects magnified. The real invention of the telescope was probably due to some amateur. Glorioso, who succeeded Galileo at the University of Padua, states that^ Pope Leo X. Who died in 1521 had in his possession a telescope which magnified distant objects.
