What reading level is The Natural History of All the Most Remarkable Quadrupeds Birds Fishes Reptil book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are orifices in the middle of the head, from which it spouts water to a prodigious distance, and with great noise especially when disturbed. The eyes, which are not larger than those of an ox, are placed far back in the head; which enables the animal to see objects both before and behind. The tail is broad and semilunar.
The colour of the whale is not uniform, but admits a great variety of shades, which may be occasioned by age or other accidents. The substance, known by the appella- tion... of whale-bone, adheres to the upper jaw, and is com- posed of thin parrallel plates, some of which are four yards long.
Though the whale is one of the largest of animals, it is at the same time one of the most innoxious. Instead of preying on the other inhabitants of the deep, it appears to subsist solely on insects of the medusae kind. Against its adversaries of the deep, however, it may prevail by force, or escape their malice by artifice ; but the lords of the creation pursue it with dexterous and successful hostility, stimulated by mercantile avarice, or a more laudable wish to supply the wants of human life.
