What reading level is Biographies of Scientific Men book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" He resigned his charge in 1791, when his friends raised a sum annually for him, in order that he might be able to pro- secute his investigations without the necessity of teaching. During this period, although he published a vast amount of chemical work, he could not leave theology, metaphysics, and politics alone. Sympathizing with the Americans in the War of Independence, and afterwards with the French in the Revolution, and his writings and speeches against the Established Church, brought h...im into con- troversy with the clergy of Birmingham. The controversy was bitter and long. Priestley was regarded as a danger- ous character, an enemy to Church and State, and even Burke (1729-97) spoke against him in the House of Commons. Such was the feeling against dissenters " fomenters of sedition " ; but that is far from being the PEIESTLEY 49 end of the story. The storming of the Bastille was almost as much applauded in London as in Paris, but the burning, the plundering, the executions in the name of justice, by which the politest nation in the world seemed to be de- grading itself by acts which would disgrace a horde of savages, soon alienated most Englishmen.
