To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No matter how impatient he may be to get on, he must be drilled at this exercise till he becomes a thorough master of it. The grand doctrine to be instilled into him at first is, to do his work well and correctly ; swiftness will fol- low as a natural consequence. He sets a second line ; and after it has been made faultless he proceeds with the third, and so on till the stick is full. The utmost care must be taken to keep every letter and every line in an exact vertical position ; and when he e...ssays to empty the stick he must be taught to lift the entire mass in one square solid body, and to place it squarely and vertically on the galley. If the lines are allowed to slant either backward or sidewise, it is diffi- cult afterward to make them stand accurately. After the apprentice has become thoroughly conversant with the shape of every type, and can distinguish "u" from "n, " "b" from "q, " and "d" from "p, " he is allowed to distribute type for his own use. He is taught to take up at one time no more matter than he can conveniently grasp in his left hand, which he holds so that the light falls on the face of the type, and his eye can readily read it.
