What reading level is Visions : a Study of False Sight (Pseudopia) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The physostigma venenosum, a kidney -shaped bean from Calabar in Africa, which the natives of that region have long employed as an ordeal test for criminals, possesses the property of diminishing, and in sufficient doses of annihilating all reflex power, so that complete muscular flaccidity fol- lows its administration. At the same time sensi- bility persists, as long as it is possible to obtain any evidence of it. Motion is taken away, but sensation remains. The pain of heat and cold and injur...y is still reported to the ganglionic nerve centres, but their ability to remove the body from the offending spot, or to expel the offending cause, no longer exists. The drug acts on the nerve cells of motion, and leaves those of sensation unaffected. The central translation of sensation into motion is abolished — that link in the mech- anism is broken, — a demonstration, tliat the dif- ference between sensation and motion, which the mind accepts, is organically represented in the nervous apparatus.
