From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  READING. The act of making known the contents of a writing or of a printed 
  document. 
       2. In order to enable a party to a contract or a devisor to know what a 
  paper contains it must be read, either by the party himself or by some other 
  person to him. When a person signs or executes a paper, it will be presumed 
  that it has been read to him, but this presumption may be rebutted. 


       3. In the case of a blind testator, if it can be proved that the will 
  was not read to him, it cannot be sustained. 3 Wash. C C. R. 580. Vide 2
