What reading level is The Royal Observatory, Greenwich. a Glance At Its History And Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor did he allow this inheritance to be merely metaphorical ; he made it an actual reality. He discussed, reduced, and published, in forms suitable for use and comparison to-day, the whole vast mass of planetary and lunar observations made at the Royal Observatory from the year 1760 to his own accession, a work of prodigious labour, but of proportionate importance.
Airy has been accused — and with some reason — of being a strong, selfish, aggressive man ; yet nothing can show more clearly than ...this great work how thoroughly he placed the fame and usefulness of the Observatory before all personal considerations.
With far less labour he could have carried on a dozen investigations that would have brought him more fame than this great enterprise, the purpose of which was to render the work of his predecessors of the highest possible use. The light in which he regarded his office may best be expressed in his own words : — 'The Observatory was expressly built for the aid of astronomy and navigation, for promoting methods of determining longitude at sea, and (as the circumstances that led to its foundation show) more especially for deter- mination of the moon's motions.
