To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
many proofs to show that the neglect of mental culti- vation may lead to an impaired state of cerebral nutri- tion ; or, on the other hand, that diseased action of the brain may injure or destroy the powers of the mind.
Tliese are fundamental truths of vast importance to the student of mental pathology as well as of physiology.
It may be readily understood that mental and physical development should go hand in hand together, and mutually assist each other ; but we are not, therefore, authorized... to conclude that mental action results firom the physical working of the brain. The strings of the harp, set in motion by a skilful performer, will produce harmonious music if they have been previously duly attuned. But if the instrument be out of order, although the player strike the same notes, and evince equal skill in the movements of his fingers, nothing but the harshest discord will ensue. As, then, sweet melody results from skilful playing on a well-tuned instrument of good con- struction, so a sound mind, and a brain of good develop- ment and quality, are the necessary conditions of healthy and vigorous mental action.^^ They here take the fact that neglect of mental culti- vation may lead to an impaired state of cerebral nutrition — that idleness of mind may lead to weakness of brain — as a proof of the independence of mind and its co- operation with the brain !
