What reading level is A Defence of Phonetic Spelling Drawn From a History of the English Alphabet An book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It takes a certain pronunciation, whether right or wrong, and represents it. The present system does the same ; but it misrepresents it. The difference between the two is a matter not of degree but of kind. SECTION XXXII. THE PHONETIC PRINCIPLE. We have hitherto considered the principles of phonetic spelling exclusively in respect to its opposition to the existing systems now prevalent, 'both in England and elsewhere : and it may, probably, have struck some of our readers that it is only so far... as it is antag- onistic to something else that it has any existence, or, at any rate, any claim upon our attention. This, however, is far from being the case. If phonetic spelling were as prevalent as it is now excep- tional, indeed if it were dominant throughout the whole domain of language, and if the opposite systems were non-existent, there would still be more than one question of some practical importance con- nected with it. The rule that the representation of the sounds of language is not only the primary but the exclusive function of or- thography, though it carries us far, does not carry us all the way.
