What reading level is The North American Review volume 38 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The deaf and dumb person is accustomed to recognise nothing in his language which has not meaning. He does not, and he cannot, suspect insignificancy in any sign. To that, therefore, which is intended to represent an idea above his capacity, he attaches an idea of his own ; an idea in the nature of things erroneous. By giving, then, to his language the degree of development aimed at by De 1'Epee, the master is sure to en cumber him with a mass, either of useless, or of unintelligible signs, use...less, in the first instance, when we consider that it is in words, and not in pantomime, that we desire him to think ; unintelligible, in the second, when we remember that these signs are imposed upon no real basis. In the one case, we thwart our own principal design ; in the other, we, at best, bewilder the learner.
Signs, established in the manner considered above, have re ceived the appellation methodical. It was the favorite labor of Sicard to systematize and perfect them. In spite of the disadvantage inseparable from their use, pupils, distinguished for their attainments, have been produced by the masters who have employed them ; but this circumstance serves only to demonstrate the ability of the masters themselves.
