What reading level is The Study of Anatomy, Historically And Legally Considered book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

A. L. Peirson, of Salem, a committee, consist- ing of Drs. John C. Warren, E. Alden and A. L. Peirson, was appointed " to prepare a petition to the legislature to modify the existing laws which now operate to prohibit the procuring of sub- jects for anatomical dissections." Previous attempts, however, seem to have been made to weaken popular and legislative preju- dices. Public attention had been forcibl}' called as earl}' as 1820, in the case of the phj'sician above alluded to, to the unsatisf...actory working of the law of 1815, "to protect the sepulchres of the dead." It is said that a year or two later a private teacher of anatomy, in Boston, found one morning on his dissecting-table the body of a prominent actor, then recently deceased. The anatomist, who had been a particular admirer and friend of the actor's, caused the body to be returned to the tomb, under Trinity Church, from which it had been stolen, and acquainted the authori- ties with the circumstance. This occurrence seems never to have been made public, but the physicians and authorities agreed that the laws must be amended.
