To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

They should be provided with a smaller work as a hand-book, to be consulted as occa- sion may require. In support of this opinion we quote the following extract from the Annual Report of the School Committee of Boston for 1861 : Instances of mispronunciation also occurred ; and, on calling for a Dic- tionary, none was at hand. A fine edition of Webster's large work lay on the master's table in another story, but, for all practical uses, where it was then wanted, it might as well have been in Te...xas. It Is recommended that all the teachers be required to have Dictionaries in their several rooms. It is also proposed that all the younger pupils be required to have Worcester's Primary Dictionary, and the more advanced pupils his Comprehensive Pro- nouncing and Explanatory Dictionary. These books are very cheap, and for the price are the most valuable school books in the English language.
The pupils of the first and second classes of all the grammar schools in Boston are now required, by a vote of the School Committee, to have a copy of Worcester's Dictionary as a hand-book for daily use ; and the following extract, from the Report of the Annual Visiting Com- mittee for 1853, will show with what success it is used : In some schools, Worcester's Comprehensive Dictionary was upon every pupil's desk, and the prompt replies showed the good use that had been made of it.
