What reading level is Words And Their Uses, Past And Present book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
one in a thousand, is really a before uncatalo^ed item of the English vocabulary. Our estimate of the worth of an addition that proceeds by columns of four figures is further lowered by the discovery that these dictionaries, with all their ponderous bulk and verbal multitudinousness, do not fully represent the English of literature or of common life ; that they give no aid to the reading of some of our standard authors; that while they set forth, with wearisome superfluity and puerile iteration..., that upon which every one who has sense and knowl- edge enough to use a dictionary at all, needs no information, they pass by as obsolete, or vulgar, or colloquial, or what not, that upon which people of intelligence and education do need instruction from the special students of language ; and that, while they spot their pages with foreign words and phrases, the use of which by some writers has shown, with a superficial knowledge of other tongues, a profound ignorance of their own, — they neglect home-born words that have been in use since English was written or spoken.
