What reading level is The Popular Science Monthly volume 27 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sometimes, as in the instance of Richelieu, who had shown himself an erratic being from his childhood, the madness appeared as a sudden and transient fit of delirium. In other cases the disorder took a firmer hold on the patient. Charles Lamb, Handel, and Auguste Comte suffered from insanity for a time, and had to be put under restraint. Tasso, whose whole nature was distinctly tinged with the "insane temperament, " had again and again to be confined as a madman. Donizetti was also for a time i...nsane and confined in an asylum. Among those who became hopelessly insane were the poets Lenau and Holderlin and the composer Schumann, the latter of whom had long been the victim of melancholy and hallucinations, and had before his confinement attempted to drown himself in the Rhine.
I have preferred to dwell on the physical aspect of the relation be- tween genius and disease. But no adequate investigation of the sub- ject is possible which does not consider the physical aspect as well. No one now, perhaps, really doubts that to every degree of mental dis- turbance and mental disorganization there corresponds some degree of deterioration and disorganization of the nerve-centers.
