What reading level is A Gross Literary Fraud Exposed; Relating to the Publication of Worcester's Dictionary in London book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Worcester was employed by Dr. Webster or his family, to pre- pare an Abridgment qf the American Dictionary — the present 8vo. published by Messrs.
Harpers, for which he was paid $2,000. It may be supposed he acquired some skUl in Dictionary making by this labor. Some fifteen or eighteen years subsequent to this, and very soon after Dr. Webster's death, and not till then, we believe, and after Webster's 8vo« had acquired deserved celebrity and a wide sale, Mr. Worcester announced his intention t...o issue a Dictionary himself, of the same size and price, which he shortly did, adopting several of Dr. Webster's peculiarities, omitting the k and u, as above alluded to ; but ad- ding that he was " not aware of having taken a single word, or the definition of a word," from Webster in the preparation of his own work. Yet it is a fact of significance in this connection, that errors in definitions, and in other respects, into which Dr. Webster was inadvertently led in his first, but corrected in subsequent editions, are faithfully found embodied in Worcester.
