What reading level is Pursuit of Knowledge Under Difficulties : Its Pleasures And Rewards : in Two Volumes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Rev- erend Dr. Cartwright invented his power-loom in 1784 ; but it is only since the commencement of the present century that weaving by machinery has become general. Steam was first applied as the moving power for the spinning machinery in 1785 ; in which year Messrs. JSoulton and Watt erected one of their rotative engines for a factory belong- ing to the Messrs. Robinson at Papplewick, in Nottinghamshire. In the present day the cotton is carded, spun, and woven into cloth in the same manu...factory ; these different operations being per« formed by machinery, the several parts of which are all set in motion by a single steam-engine.
In 1787 the number of spinning factories in the county of Lancaster amounted only to 42, of com- paratively inconsiderable magnitude; in August 1825, there were, according to Mr. Baines, no fewer than 104 such factories in Manchester alone, which were worked by 110 steam-engines, of the aggre- gate power of 3598 horses. The number of steam- iooms now at work in the kingdom is calculated at 45,000, of which about 8000 are in Scotland, and above 20,000 in Manchester.
