What reading level is Elements of Physiology Being An Account of the Laws And Principles of the Anima book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the general outline we have given of its dis- tribution, it will be seen that both the first and second branches contribute filaments to the nose, those from the first accompanying the olfactory nerve. Magendie has at- tempted to prove that these twigs constitute the proper seat of smell, and that the first nerve has nothing to do with that function, though he has seen reason somewhat to modify his opinion. In this he has furnished a nota- ble instance how torturing animals, by what are ca...lled experiments, is as apt to mislead and bewilder as elicit truth. It is a source of no small pleasure to know that the conclusions which Sir Charles Bell has arrived at, and the truths which he has succeeded in establishing, were not the result of cruelties committed on our fellow- creatures in the first instance, and that when it became necessary to put them to the test upon living animals, the experiments were previously well devised, and con- ducted with every consideration of humanity the case would admit of ; and in no instance does he have recourse to unnecessary repetitions, furnishing a beautiful contrast to that butcher-like indifference to animal suffering which is so fashionable in the present day, and which is often practised with so little appearance of design, aim, or pur- pose, that it looks as if it sprung more from the gratifica- tion of a depraved and cruel disposition than from the desire for the advancement of science.
