What reading level is Thomas Henry Huxley; a Sketch of His Life And Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What was known of human anatomy and physiology was contained in ponderous treatises, written in difficult and technical language suitable only for students of medicine and doctors. It was thought to be not only unnecessary but slightly coarse for those not in the profession to know anything of the viscera of digestion, circulation, and so forth. Huxley laid low this great superstition by his Elementary Lessons i7i Physiology, a little vol- ume first published in 1866, which ran through many Ele...mentary Physiology 173 editions. In it he wrote primarily for teachers and learners in boys' and girls* schools, and selected from the great bulk of knowledge and opinion called hu- man physiology only the important and well-estab- lished truths. So successful was he in his selection that, notwithstanding the immense increase in know- ledge since he wrote, the book still remains an adequate and useful elementary treatise, and by this time must have given their main knowledge of the human body to hundreds and thousands of readers who otherwise would have remained ignorant.
