What reading level is Putnam's Magazine of Literature, Science, Art, And National Interests book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On one occasion he exclaimed, de- spairingly, "I would consent to have an arm amputated, to recover my spirits." "Wretchedness like this, when it is tem- porary or spasmodic, may signify but little ; but when it is persistent and life- long, it must be regarded as the symp- tom of cerebral disease that may and often does advance to absolute madness.
The violent impetuosity of Dr. Johnson, his unreasonable, almost furious preju- dices, may be accounted for on the same theory.
Some of the brighte...st geniuses in literature have been at intervals subject to attacks of madness. Southey lived for years in perpetual dread of insanity, and when at last he kneeled in the furrow, worn out through mental ex- citement and fatigue, he composed that most instructive and useful of his works, " The Life of Cowper." That Rousseau was a lunatic will be admitted without question by those who studied his life and writings, however ardently they may admire his genius.
Pascal was one of the most original thinkers of France, but no inmate of any asylum ever presented more indis- putable proofs of mental disease than those which characterized his whole career.
