What reading level is Occidental Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Luther and Calvin were theologians, but their doc- trines of salvation by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the religious experience of subsequent generations justifies, and modern science has not touched. Nay, more : these great theologians were perusing re- ligious truth in the scientific methods of their age when physical science was verily in its cradle, dreaming vain and foolish dreams, or proposing childish and futile inquiries. Instead of extinguish- ing theologians as Hercules strangled s...nakes, science has always, like Cronos, devoured her own children. The Copernican theory of the universe extinguished the Ptolemaic ; Sir Isaac Newton's doctrine of at- traction extinguished Descartes' doctrine of vortices ; astronomy extinguished astrology, chemistry al- chemy, electricity magic ; and recently the process has been repeated. In natural philosophy, the cor- puscular hypothesis of light has been discredited by the undulatory hypothesis ; in geology, the convul- sionists have been devoured by the uniformitarians ; and in natural history, evolutionists are attempting to dispose of the creationists, and the advocates of the theory of the transmutation of species to make short work of the advocates of the theory of the 78 OCCIDENTAL SKETCHES.
