What reading level is Illustrations of Natural History Embracing a Series of Engravings And Descript book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


This species has somewhat longish legs and an arched visage ; and the male has horns like those of the common sheep, with large pendent ears. They are furnished with a long, coarse, hairy wool. The tail is so much enveloped in fat as to be scarcely visible, the parts on each side swelling- out into a pair of naked hemispheres, of such a size as some- times to weigh nearly forty pounds : their substance is said to resemble suet.
These sheep are found in many of the Tartarian deserts from the Vol
...ga to the Irtish, and the Altaic chain of moun- tains. They exhibit more or less of the appearance just described, according to the nature of their pasture ; but are observed to flourish most in those which are of a saline nature.
THE BEARDED SHEEP.
Genus Capra. PENNANT. Tragelaphus. CAIUS.
This animal seems rather a variety of the argali than a truly distinct species, Mr. Pennant thus describes its cha- racters : " Sheep with the hair on the inferior part of the cheeks and upper jaws extremely long, forming a divided or double beard, with hair on the sides, and the body short ; on the top of the neck it is much longer and somewhat erect.
