What reading level is The Scientific Study of Scenery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We may discover that the apparently structureless limestone which, after accumulating to a thickness of thousands of feet on the ocean floor, has been reared up and sculptured into mighty hills and strange pinnacles, is a mosaic composed of particles so small that they can only be seen beneath the microscope, and yet each particle consists of the exquisitely ornate shell of a lovely creature which once existed in a long- departed ocean. We thus learn that the present earth-features are but reco...rds of a brief period ; that past periods have succeeded one another before the present, each marked by features of the earth's surface, in many respects similar to those which are at present in being, but each probably characterised by something belonging to the period, which never occurred before and will never occur again. One is thus led to pass in review in one's imagination the whole of the earth's history, from the time when the earth was a formless nebula, to a later period when it was a molten mass ; yet later, when, though solid, it was a lifeless desert ; and so through the long ages of geological time until one arrives at the contemplation of the present condition of things.
