To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A book, for example, ill printed, or a pronunciation in fpeaking not well articulated, would render a fentence unin- telligible, which from a clear print, or a diftlnd: fpeakei', would have been immediately compre- hended. If, therefore, we would have the be- nefit of feeing our language more generally known among mankind, we lliould endeavour to remove all the difiicuities, however fmall, that difcou- ragc the learning of it. But 1 am forry to ob- fervc that, of late ^'^ars, thofe difficulties..., inftead of being diminiflied, have been augmented. In examining the EngUih books that were print- ed between the reftoration and the acceffion of George the Second, we may obferve, that all fub- ftantives were begun with a capital, in which we imitated our mother tongue, the German. This was more particularly ufeful to thofe who were not well acquainted with the Englifh, there be- ing fuch a prodigious pumber of our words that are both verbs and fubftantives, and fpelt in the fame manner, though often accented differently in pronunciation.
