What reading level is Lectures On the English Language book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
463 other book of reference, which, in an ancient iibraiy, would have filled a compartment ; and the convenience of consult- ing it is increased in much the same proportion as its com- pression.
On the other hand, the facilities of production have mul- tiplied the mass of books out of all proportion to the needs of literature. The cost of a book lies mainly in what printers call composition, that is, the arrangement of the type and pages to receive the impression. The amount of this item is the... same for one copy as for a hundred thousand, and the typographical composition of a volume is scarcely more ex- pensive than the execution of a single copy carefully written by hand. Every successive repetition of a manuscript costs as much as the first, and each, of course, as much as the type-setting for a whole edition of a printed book. Hence, an ancient author, who desired a wide and permanent circu- lation for his book, would study to confine it within such limits of bulk and price, that it could be repeated and mul- tiplied without an extravagant tax on the purses of his public.
