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

illiterate. this term is applied to one unacquainted with letters. 
     2. when an ignorant man, unable to read, signs a deed or agreement, or 
makes his mark instead of a signature, and he alleges, and can provide that 
it was falsely read to him, he is not bound by it, in consequence of the 
fraud. and the same effect would result, if the deed or agreement were 
falsely read to a blind man, who could have read before he lost his sight, 
or to a foreigner who did not understand the language. for a plea of "laymen 
and unlettered," see bauer v. roth, 4 rawle, rep. 85 and pp. 94, 95. 
     3. to induce an illiterate man, by false representations and false 
reading, to sign a note for a greater amount than that agreed on, is 
indictable as a cheat. 1 yerg. 76. vide, generally, 2 nels. ab. 946; 2 co. 
3; 11 co. 28; moor, 148.
