It's possible to perform a simple experiment, for example we can reduce the English alphabet to 13 characters by replacing each of the 13 less frequent characters with one of the 13 more frequent ones. How easy is it for you to read the below?

I'd say the mental strain is quite high and in a large book there will be some cases where several readings would be possible.
Here's the mapping:
B -> C
F -> T
G -> H
J -> L
K -> A
M -> I
P -> N
Q -> D
U -> E
V -> R
W -> O
Y -> S
Yes, except that instead of the original plaintext letter being used a different new symbol would be used to represent both.
So for example:
BC=1
FT=2
GH=3
and so on.
If such a system was being used, you would expect that the person decoding the text would not even attempt to read and understand from the page, but would have a key/dictionary to decode the enciphered text. The same way that someone attempting to read a caesar cipher would not be able to simply read from the page.
Using method 3 from my post (which is quite strenuous obviously) there is only one 8 letter english word which fits the third word ACDEIRED from your text (ACQUIRED)
If I had a dictionary to hand that listed 8 letter words in that number system, it would have taken me a few moments to search and then transcribe back into plaintext. It would be surrounded by:
51896054 - Acquiral
51896098 - Acquired
51896099 - Acquiree

This seems to be based on the position of the letter within a word, making the process far more complicated for both encoding and decoding.
