What reading level is Elements of Phrenology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After these general considerations, which apply to all the external senses, a few words may be added on the specific functions of each sense in particular.
Feeling or Touch.
It was long ago inferred, from pathological facts, that the nerves of motion must be distinct from the nerves of feeling ; and recent experiments have proved this inference to be well founded.
The sense of feeling is continued, not only over the external surface of the body, but even over the intestinal canal. It gives rise... to the sensations of pain and pleasure ; of the variations of tempera- ture ; and of dryness and moisture. These can- not be recalled by the will ; and I therefore con- sider them as depending on the sense alone. The impressions made upon this sense serve as the means of exciting in the mind perceptions of figure, of roughness and smoothness, and nume- rous other classes of ideas ; but the power of ex- periencing these perceptions is in proportion to the perfection of certain internal faculties, and of the sense of touch, jointly, and not in proportion to the perfection of this sense alone.
