What reading level is The Evolution of English Lexicography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For my part I confesse, hadst not thou writ, I had not beene acquainted with more wit Than our old English taught; but now I can Be proud to know I have a Countryman Hath strugled for a fame, and what is more, Gain'd it by paths of Art, vntrod before. The benefit is generall; the crowne Of praise particular, and thats _thine owne_. What should I say? thine owne deserts inspire thee, Twere base to enuie, I must then admire thee.
A friend and louer of thy paines, IOHN FORD.
And a deeply inter...esting little book is this diminutive ancestor ofthe modern English Dictionary, to describe which adequately would takefar more time than the limits of this lecture afford. It is dividedinto three parts: Part I contains the hard words with theirexplanation in ordinary language; and instructive it is to see whatwords were then considered hard and unknown. Many of them certainlywould be so still: as, for example, _abgregate_, 'to lead out of theflock'; _acersecomick_, 'one whose hair was never cut';_adcorporated_, 'married'; _adecastick_, 'one that will do justhowsoever'; _bubulcitate_, 'to cry like a cow-boy'; _collocuplicate_, 'to enrich'--concerning which we wonder who used them, or whereCockeram found them; but we are surprised to find among these hardwords _abandon_, _abhorre_, _abrupt_, _absurd_, _action_, _activitie_, and _actresse_, explained as 'a woman doer, ' for the stage actress hadnot yet appeared.
