What reading level is Essays On Natural History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

While coursing round this field, the vulture, suddenly rounding and falling, killed a garter-snake scarcely as large as a man's finger. The author tells us he plainly saw that the vulture could see this snake hundreds of yards distant. I am not surprised that the vulture saw the snake hundreds of yards 254 THE TURKEY BUZZARD.
distant, as I am fully aware of the keen sight of all birds ; but what really astonishes me is, that the author could see the snake, and know it to be a garter-snake ; for
..., upon the face of the statement, I am led to conclude that he himself, as well as the vulture, was hundreds of yards distant from the snake. It were much to be wished that the author had said something positive with regard to the actual distance of the snake from the tree under which he had taken his stand. Again, the author tells us, in the beginning of this experiment, that he retired about a few hundred yards from the spot where he had placed the deerskin in the middle of the large open field, and that a vulture, in the lapse of some minutes, alighted within a few yards of the skin.
