What reading level is The Foot-Prints of the Creator; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We learn from human history that nations are as certainly mortal as men. They enjoy a greatly longer term of exist- ence, but they die at last : Rollin's History of Ancient Na- tions is a history of the dead. And we are taught by geologi- cal, history, in like manner, that species are as mortal as indi- viduals and nations, and that even genera and families become extinct. There is no man upon earth at the present moment whose age greatly exceeds an hundred years ; — there is no nation now upon... earth (if we perhaps except the long-lived Chinese) that also flourished three thousand years ago ; — there is no species now living upon earth that dates beyond the times of the Tertiary deposits. All bear the stamp of death, — individuals, — nations, — species; and we may scarce less safely predicate, looking upon the past, that it is appointed for nations and species to die, than that it " is appointed for man once to die." Even our own species, as now constituted^ — with instincts that conform to the original injunction, " increase and multiply," and that, in consequence, " marry and are given in marriage," — shall one day cease to exist : a fact not less in accordance with beliefs inseparable from the faith of the Christian, than with the widely-founded experience of the geologist.
