Summary: "Study and Stimulants" by A. Arthur Reade is a scientific publication likely written in the late 19th century. This work investigates the effects of intoxicants and narcotics on intellectual life, featuring accounts from various prominent figures in literature and science. The primary topic revolves around the impact of stimulants, particularly tobacco and alcohol, on cognitive performance and mental exertion, aiming to provide clarity on whether these substances enhance or hinder intellectual capabilities. The opening of the book introduces the ongoing debate regarding the influence of commonly used intoxicants. Reade expresses the confusion faced by students and intellectual workers seeking guidance on whether to use such substances in their pursuits. Several personal communications from well-known figures, including authors and scientists, are included to shed light on their experiences and insights regarding the use of alcohol and tobacco while engaging in intellectual work. These testimonials suggest a range of opinions, with some advocating for moderation and others asserting total abstinence, thus painting a complex picture of the relationship between mind-enhancing efforts and stimulant use.
