What reading level is First Principles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Analysis, neverthe- less, proves to us that they have a common genesis. If we ask, — "Whence comes the power of the river-current, bearing sediment down to the sea ? the reply is, — The gravitation of water throughout the tract which this river drains. If we ask, — How came the water to be dispersed over this tract ? the reply is, — It fell in the shape of rain. If we ask, — How came the rain to be in that position whence it feU ? the reply is, 270 THE CORKELATION AND EQUIVALENCE OF FORCES.
— T...he vapour from which it was condensed was drifted there by the winds. If we ask,— How came this vapour to be at that elevation ? the reply is, — It was raised by evaporation.
And if we ask,— What force thus raised it ? the reply is, — The sun's heat. Just that amount of gravitative force which the sun's heat overcame in raising the atoms of water, is given out again ia the fall of those atoms to the same level.
Hence the denudations effected by rain and rivers, during the descent of this condensed vapour to the level of the sea, are indirectly due to the sun's heat.
