What reading level is Cosmos a Sketch of a Physical Description of the Universe volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The knowledge which we at present possess of the altitude of the polar light is based on measurements which, from their nature, the constant oscillation of the phenomenon of light, and the consequent uncertainty of the angle of parallax, are not deserving of much confidence. The results obtained, set- ting aside the older data, fluctuate between several miles and an elevation of 3000 or 4000 feet ; and, in all probability, the northern lights at different times occur at very different elevation...s. * The most recent observers are disposed to place the phenomenon in the region of clouds, and not on the con- fines of the atmosphere ; and they even believe that the rays of the Aurora may be affected by winds and currents of air, if the phenomenon of light, by which alone the existence of an electro-magnetic current is appreciable, be actually connected with material groups of vesicles of vapor in motion, or, more correctly speaking, if light penetrate them, passing from one vesicle to another.
