To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The length is 8, and the greatest breadth nearly 6 inches. The circumference is 22| inches. These measurements exceed the average of Scotch living heads, including the integuments, for which four-eighths of an inch may be allowed. The brain of Burns, therefore, possessed the two elements of power and activity. The portions of the brain wfiich manifest the animal propensities are uncommonly large, indicating strong passions, and great energy in action under their influence. The group of organs m...anifesting the domestic affections (Amativeness, Philoijrogenitiveness, and Adhesiveness), is large ; Philoprogenitiveness uncommonly so for a male head. The organs of Combativeness and Destructiveness are large, bespeaking great heat of temper, impatience, and liability to irritation. Secretiveness and Cautiousness are both large, and would confer con- siderable power of restraint, where he felt restraint to be necessary. Acquisitiveness, Self-Esteem, and Love of Approbation, are also in ample endowment, although the first is less than the other two ; these feelings give the love of property, a high consideration of self, and desire of the esteem of others.
