What reading level is On the Study of Words book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
as the principle of growth is in it — as a tree too will continually, while it casts off some leaves, be putting forth others — that they have sought by a decree of theirs to arrest its growth, to pronounce it to have attained to the limits of its growth and development, so that no one should henceforward presume to make additions to it. The attempt has utterly failed, even when made under the most favorable conditions for success. For instance, the French academy, con- taining the great body o...f the distinguished literary men of France, once sought to exercise such a dom- ination over their own language, and, if any could have succeeded, might have hoped to do so. But the language recked of their decrees, as little as the advancing ocean did of those of Canute. They were obliged to give way, and in each successive edition of their dictionary to throw open its doors to words which had established themselves in the language, and would hold their ground, comparatively indiffer- ent whether they received their seal of allowance or no.
