What reading level is Superstitions About Animals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In scientific minds this theory for long enough found acceptance, and to-day there are many well-informed people who still give it their support. In order to put the popular belief — much more popular then than now — to a thorough definite test, Dr. Buckland, father of the well-known natural- ist, deposited twenty-four toads in cells carved out of stone, covered with glass for purposes of inspec- tion. Twelve of the cells were twelve inches by five inches, made in coarse oolitic limestone, and ...twelve, six inches by five inches, in compact siliceous sand- stone, the former being so porous as to be easily permeable by water, and probably by air, but the latter being very compact. These blocks of stone containing the unfortunate prisoners, twelve of them being large toads and twelve small, were placed in Dr. Buckland's garden beneath three feet of earth on November 26th, 1825. Within thirteen months of this date all the toads in the sandstone and the small toads in the limestone were dead, although the glass in some instances had been cracked, and in one of the cells "a large assemblage of minute insects" was found.
