What reading level is Bygone Beliefs Being a Series of Excursions in the Byways of Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . Tin (=119). Moon. . . . Silver (=108). Venus . . Copper (=64). Mars. . . . Iron (=56).
Similarly we can, starting from any one of these orders, pass to theother two. The fact is a very surprising one, because the ancients couldnot possibly have been acquainted with the atomic weights of the metals, and, it is important to note, the order of the densities of thesemetals, which might possibly have been known to them, is by no means thesame as the order of their atomic weights. Whether the fac...t indicates areal relationship between the planets and the metals, or whether thereis some other explanation, I am not prepared to say. Certainly someexplanation is needed: to say that the fact is mere coincidence isunsatisfactory, seeing that the odds against, not merely this, but anysuch regularity occurring by chance--as calculated by the mathematicaltheory of probability--are 119 to 1.
All the instruments employed in the art had to be specially prepared andconsecrated. Special robes had to be worn, perfumes and incense burnt, and invocations, conjurations, _etc_.
