To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Herschel was rapidly outgrowing his sur- roundinga The dullest eye could see that something had to be done for the honour of the country. Herschel, though resident in England, was not an Englishman; but he was a subject of the King of England as Elector of Hanover, and the nation that reaped the honour, it might soon come to be the profit, of his discoveries, was bound to mark its sense of the value it set upon his presence within its bordera The Royal Society did what they could, but it was fa...r from enougli. As they honoured Benjamin Franklin with the Copley Medal in 1753 for "curious experi- ments and observations on electricity," so they showed their high regard for William Herschel by awarding the same medal to him in November 1781 for his " discovery of a new and singular star." On Decem- ber 6 of that year he was also elected a Fellow of the Society. But these honours did not meet the case. They were prizes won in the race for fame ; they did not provide a living or leisure for further triumphs.
