To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How unnatuml ! is an exclamation of pained surprise wUcli some of the more striking instances of insanity in young children are apt to provoke. However, to call a thing unnatural is not to take it out of the domain of natural law, notwithstand* ing that when it has been so designated it is sometimes thought that no more need be said. Anomalies, when rightly studied, yield rare instruction ; they witness and attract attention to the operation of hidden laws or of known laws under new and unknown... conditions ; and so set the inquirer on new and fruit- ful paths of research. For this reason it will not be amiss to occupy a separate chapter with a consideration of the abnormal phenomena of mental derangement in children. The first movements of the child are reflex ; but sensorial perceptions with motor reactions thereto follow these early movements so soon that we can make only an ideal boundary between reflex and sensori-motor acts. The aimless thrusting out of a limb brings it in contact with some external object, whereupon it is probable that a sensation is excited.
