What reading level is The Story of Nineteenth-Century Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Young had too many other interests to continue the assault unceasingly. He occasionally wrote something touching on his theory, mostly papers con- tributed to the Quarterly Review and similar period- icals, anonymously or under a pseudonym, for he had conceived the notion that too great conspicuousness in fields outside of medicine would injure his practice as a physician. His views regarding light (including the original papers from the Philosophical Transactions of id9 THE STORY OF NINETEENTH...-CENTURY SCIENCE the Royal Society) were again given publicity in full in his celebrated volume on natural philosophy, consisting in part of his lectures before the Royal Institution, pub- lished in 1807; but even then they failed to bring con- viction to the philosophic world. Indeed, they did not even arouse a controversial spirit, as his first papers had done.
So it chanced that when, in 1815, a young French military engineer, named Augustin Jean Fresnel, re- turning from the Napoleonic wars, became interested in the phenomena of light, and made some experiments concerning diffraction, which seemed to him to contro- vert the accepted notions of the materiality of light, he was quite unaware that his experiments had been an- ticipated by a philosopher across the Channel.
