What reading level is Original Papers Illustrating the History of the Application of the Roman Alphabet to the Languages of India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But fm-ther, the Musalmfin being forbidden by his religion to paint animals, is forced to de- velope his SBSthetical tendencies in the direction of calli- graphy. For every-day purposes he pens the vilest scrawl; but on other occasions he makes a picture of his writing ; he sets about it as he would about drawing or miniature-painting ; every stroke is studied ; he dispenses with all vowel points because they offend the eye ; he groups his dots as he would .the figures in a landscape; he allows... himself unlimited license in the way of ciirves and flomishes ; he cares nothing about legibility ; his sole object is to carry out his ideas of " the beautiful " in penmanship.
For these reasons, then, the Persi-Arabic character, how- ever pleasing in appearance, can never be anything but very unreadable, very unprintable, and wholly unadapted to meet the requirements of advancing knowledge and civilisation in the East.
And now a few words in explanation of the Deva-ndgari or Hindu system. This, although deficient in two important symbols (represented in the Eoman by z and /), is on the whole the most perfect and symmetrical of all known alphabets.
