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

This is called the determination of the azimuth, and in principle is as follows a temporary mark is fixed as near as possible to the meridian ; a transit in- strument is adjusted upon it, and the transits of stars at different polar dis- 61 tances are observed. The deviation of the transit instrument, or the azimuth of the mark, is thus found with great accu- racy. By means of a theodolite or re- peating circle, the angle between the mark and one of the signals can be ob- served, and there resu...lts the azimuth of the station.
This having been satisfactorily per- formed, we are now able to calculate the length of meridian arc contained between the two parallels passing through the ex treme stations of the chain of triangles. The simplest means "for performing this operation is known as the method of parallels and perpendiculars, and consists mainly in finding the projections upon the meridian of the various sides of the system of triangles. Only one precaution is ne- cessary, and that is.
