What reading level is The Physiology And Pathology of the Mind book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The kind of mental derangement displayed in early life will in reality serve as a searching test of the value of the principles already enunciated, and, if found to be in strict accordance with them, will not fail to afford strong support to them. While it is commonly thought sufficient to dismiss all such instances as singular anomalies in nature, inexplicable, and belonging to the regions of disorder — as though to call a thing unnatural were to remove it from the domain of natural law — any ...glimpse of law or order discernible in such confusion will be so far a gain.
The first movements of the child are reflex to impressions made upon it ; but so quickly does sensorial perception with motor reaction thereto follow upon these early movements, that we are not able to fix a distinct line between the reflex and sensori-motor actions. The aimless thrusting out of the infant's limb brings it in contact with some external object, whereupon it is probable that a sensation is excited. But it would appear that the particular muscular exertion must be the condition of a muscular feeling of the act ; so that the muscular sense of the movement and the sensation of the external object become •associated, and for the future unavoidably suggest one another; a muscular intuition of external nature is in fact organized, and one of the first steps in the process of mental formation accom- plished.
