What reading level is British Quadrupeds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The common and the pine marten are, on the upper parts, of a dark chestnut colour. The former is white on the throat and breast ; the latter yellow. Their 202 BRITISH QUADRUPEDS.
general retreat is the hollow in the upper part of some decayed tree. They prefer the place chosen for the nest of a squirrel, and having killed the inhabitant, the new tenant enlarges it, and lines it with softer mate- rials. Though ferocious in disposition, these creatures are easily tamed. Gesner kept a pine marten,... which used to go to the houses of the neighbours, but always returned home when wanting food. It was very fond of a dog with which it had been bred up, and would play with it as cats do, lying on its back, and pretend- ing to bite.
Buffon also had one which, though it had lost its fero- city, did not discover any marks of attachment, and continued so wild as to require being chained. It, however, frequently escaped from its confinement. At first, after being absent some hours, it returned, but without seeming pleased ; the time of remaining away gradually increased, and at last it took its final depar- ture.
