What reading level is The Pilgrim Press a Bibliographical Historical Memorial of the Books Printed book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Outside this one book there is, in the whole range of books acknowledged by Brewster or attributed to him, not one single jot or title of Gothic letter. Anyone who is at all familiar with English books of this period, and especially with English books printed abroad, will appreciate the significance of this. It is difficult, if not impossible, to believe that Brewster possessed Gothic founts, but never again used them. Did he hire or borrow them, and do the composing and printing himself? Here ...we are on more doubtful ground. In the first place no fewer than five Gothic founts, ranging from 52 mm. To 88 mm. , are used in the body of the work. If Brewster had been hiring or borrowing, he would probably have contented himself with two, or at most three founts. From such minutiae as signatures little help is to be gained. The use of asterisks for the signatures of the preliminary sheet, commencing the body of the work with Sig. A, agrees with the usage of Ames and Proverbia. This, however, is in contrast with the usage of later issues from the press, in which the work usually begins with Sig.
