What reading level is Botanical Rambles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
More brilliant than the brightest coral, and reflecting light from their polished summits, one might imagine them to be gems, cut and set by the hand of Nature, to give a grace to the rugged rock, or the dark mould from which they spring. In com- REIN-DEER MOSS.
mon with the other kinds of Lichen, and the Mosses generally, they will bear exposure to excessive drought, for an indefinite period of time, without materially altering in appearance. A very fine specimen, which I gathered four years a...go, is as beautiful as it ever was; and, if restored to its THE HEATH. 95 native soil, it would probably continue to vegetate as if it had never been removed.
But it is time that I should tell you in what way these humble plants serve as instruments in the hand of Providence for converting rocky districts into fertile pastures and woodlands. Their sub- stance is composed entirely of an assemblage of minute cells, which have the power of absorbing moisture, either from the direct application of water to the plant or from the atmosphere, and this power they possess in a high degree and ex- ercise very readily.
