What reading level is The Works of William Paley Containing His Life Moral And Political Philos book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Home has observed, * that the most important and the most delicate actions are per- formed in the body by the smallest muscles: and he mentions, as his examples, the muscles which have been discovered in the iris of the eye, and the drum of the ear. The tenuity of these muscles is astonishing. They are microscopic hairs ; must be mugnified to be visible; yet are they real, eficct- ive muscles: and not only such, but the grandest and most precious of our faculties, sight and hear- ing, depend up...on their health and action.
V. The muscles act in the limbs with what is called a mechanical disadvantage. The muscle at the shoulder, by which the arm is raised, is fixed nearly in the same manner as the load is fixed upon a steelyard, within a few decimals, we will say, of an inch, from the centre upon which the steelyard turns. In this situation, we find that a very heavy draught is no more than suffi- cient to countervail the force of a small lead plum- met, placed upon the long arm of the steelyard, at the distance of perhaps fifteen or twenty inches from the centre, and on the other side of it.
