What reading level is Popular Scientific Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are at liberty to supplement this description, gradually, by direct description, to correct it, or to replace it alto- gether. We see, thus, without difficulty, that what is ON COMPARISON IN PHYSICS, 241 called a theory or a theoretical idea, falls under the category of what is here termed indirect description.
What, now, is a theoretical idea ? Whence do we get it ? What does it accomplish for us ? Why does it occupy a higher place in our judgment than the mere holding fast to a fact or an ...observation? Here, too, memory and comparison alone are in play. But in- stead of a single feature of resemblance culled from memory, in this case a great system of resemblances confronts us, a well-known physiognomy, by means of j which the new fact is immediately transformed into an old acquaintance. Besides, it is in the power of the idea to ofier us more than we actually see in the new fact, at the first moment ; it can extend the fact, and enrich it with features which we are first induced to seek from such suggestions, and which are often ac- tually found.
