What reading level is Manual of Geology Theoretical And Practical volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These concretions vary in size from a pea to a water-melon, and, like all the others, owe their dark colour to the abundance of mica. They have a ground mass of quartz, felspar, and mica, and con- tain accidental minerals such as magnetite, titanite, apatite, and horn- blende. Occasionally, however, the patches, owing to the absence of black mica, are lighter in colour than the surrounding rock.
In the granite of Aberdeen, the pebble-like concretions are almost unknown. This granite consists of... orthoclase, a large proportion of oligoclase, quartz, white and black mica, minute garnets, and occasional crystals of apatite and sphene. The quartz is frequently traversed by hair-like crystals of rutile. Fragments of schistose rocks sometimes occur. Mr. Phillips describes one lenticular mass weighing over a hundredweight found in the Dyce quarry, north-west of Aberdeen. It was covered with a layer of mica so as readily to separate from the rock. On being broken the mass consisted of granite half as fine again in texture as the surrounding rock, and only differed in contain- ing more oligoclase.
