To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For books, and tracts, and oral lectures for the people, there will be no want of materials or models, or even of the actual fabrics themselves. The publications of the British and American Societies for the Diffusion of Knowledge, are mines, in which selection, compilation, and imitation, may work with the richest results to this great cause. Many of these productions, and still more eminently, the scientific writings of Dr. Frank- lin, afford most happy specimens of the style, suited to treat...ises for popular use : no parade of leurnlng ; no long word, where a short will serve the turn ; no Latin or Greek derivative, where an Anglo-Saxon is at hand ; no technical term, where a popular one can be used. By presenting, in a form thus brief, simple, and attrac- tive, subjects which in their accustomed guise of learn- ed and costly quartos or octavos, frighten away the common gaze, as from a Gorgon upon which none might look, and live, you may insinuate them into every dwelling, and every mind : the school urchin may find them neither incomprehensible, nor wearisome; and the laboring man be detained from the tippling house, and even for an hour, after the day's toil is over, from his pillow, to snatch a few morsels from the banquet of instruction.
