What reading level is Proceedings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

He lived, moved, and had his being in science. He was in politics an advanced Liberal, but he seldom or ever thought or talked of politics, unless the sub- ject was thrust upon him. His all absorbing topic, whether in the house with his microscope, or abroad in the fields with his pocket lens, was Natural History in some shape or form.
In later years he gave a good deal of attention to Geology, and went much among the rocks, hammer in hand. He delighted in illustrating the wonderful works of Na
...ture, as well in their atomical minuteness, as in the gigantic rock masses, which form the earth's crust; and such illustra- tions were always copious and lucid, displaying a complete mastery of the subject in hand. He was particularly fond of pedestrian excursions, in which he was a most enjoyable and instructive companion. As a geologist he was well acquainted with field work, and in many excursions in our own country, replete as it is with striking geological features, he would point out to the tyro the structure of the landscape, drawing at times on the roadside sand or dust with a borrowed walking-stick, diagrammatic sections in rough illustration of his descriptions.
