What reading level is On the Nature of Things book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two pieces of heated iron hammered together become firmly adherent, the hammering forcing out intervening gas and so causing adhesion, part of the motion or energy of the hammering being thus rendered latent. All adhesion may in fact be regarded as ' latent energy.' It cannot be produced without absorption of energy, which is of course given out when the adhesion is dissolved. This law therefore implies that there is a tendency to equili- brium of different degrees of latent energy under the in...fluence of heat or mixing.
Among the phenomena which have been brought within our powers of observation by the use of 160 THE NATURE OF THINGS powerful microscopes are the so-called ' Brownian movements.' These are incessant irregular move- ments of microscopic grains in liquids. They indicate that the elementary particles of a liquid are incessantly changing their position relatively to one another, and by their colUsion with the micro- scopic grains producing motion in the latter. This bears out the views we have already expressed as to the explanation of solidity, liquidity, and the gaseous condition, and at the same time indicates motion, which is shown experimentally not to be due to convection currents in the liquids themselves.
