What reading level is Lord Kelvin, His Life And Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The electric light, therefore, would soon be used even in the passages and staircases of private dwellings. It was much more economical than gas.
Arc lamps might be put on iron poles 60 feet high, or the old French plan of span wires might be used.
There was no need to employ globes of opal glass absorb- ing half the light generated. From the hygienic point of view, the electric light was much preferable to gas.
As a mathematician, he saw nothing impossible in sub- dividing the electric light. ...As a motive power, he could see no limit to the applications of electricity. It could do all the work now done by steam engines, no matter how powerful they were. The duty of legislators was to encourage inventors to the utmost.
The abstract of this evidence, which appeared in Nature for May 29, 1879, concludes with the sentence, " This may be called the fanatical view of electric light." At the present day it reads merely like a plain record of the facts. As a matter of history, this evidence was instrumental in turning the attention of certain finan- ciers and young engineers to developing the practical apphcations of electricity.
