What reading level is Manners And Monuments of Prehistoric Peoples book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If this were so, it would beone of the most ancient proofs not only of the presence of man, butalso of the kind of habitation he first dwelt in. These conclusionshave, however, been hotly disputed. M. Arcelin[112] remarks that thereare in England two exceptional geological landmarks, the Forest Bedrepresenting the last Pliocene formations, and the River Gravels, which are the most ancient Quaternary deposits. Between the two, wefind the Boulder Clay of Glacial origin. Now the fauna of the caves...of the Clyde, far from resembling that of the Forest Bed, appearsto be more recent than that of the ancient deposits of the RiverGravels. Amongst this fauna we find neither the ELEPHAS ANTIQUUS northe RHINOCEROS MERCKII; the worked flints are not like those known asbelonging to the River-Gravel type, but the relics more nearly resemblethose of the Reindeer period of France. It is therefore impossible, in the present state of our knowledge, to assert that man lived in thesouthwest of England in the Glacial epoch, to the phenomena of which, if he witnessed them, he must eventually have fallen a victim.
