What reading level is Sir James Murray 1837 1915 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A. Craigie, a scholar perhaps uniquely qualified by ability and training for the work, who is now Professor of Anglo-Saxon in tne University, but still continues his labours on the Dictionary. In 1913 a fourth editor was appointed, Mr. C. T. Onions, a London graduate, who had been for twenty years a member of the editorial staff.
Tlie thirty years of Murray's life in Oxford were spent in strenuous and almost unceasing toil, wholly devoted to the one sole object. Except for occasional illnesses,... a brief yearly holiday, and one absence of some months on a visit to South Africa, his daily labour of many hours went on without interruption from year to year nearly to the end. He wrote no books or articles, and, although he was a Fellow of the British Academy from its foundation, and often attended its meetings, he never found time to contribute to its Proceedings. He was an acceptable popular lecturer, but the subject was always the Dictionary. He might, if he had so chosen, have left many monu- ments of his great and various powers, but he thought it his duty to devote his whole strength to the accomplishment of the one great undertaking to which he had pledged himself.
