To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Bacon was disgusted with ineffective _logical_speculations, and Socrates with ineffective _physical_ researches. Henever suffered a general term to remain undetermined, but applied it atonce to particulars, and by questions the purport of which was notcomprehended. It was not by positive teaching, but by excitingscientific impulse in the minds of others, or stirring up the analyticalfaculties, that Socrates manifested originality. It was his aim to forcethe seekers after truth into the path of ...inductive generalization, whereby alone trustworthy conclusions could be formed. He thus struckout from his own and other minds that fire which sets light to originalthought and stimulates analytical inquiry. He was a religious andintellectual missionary, preparing the way for the Platos and Aristotlesof the succeeding age by his severe dialectics. This was his mission, and he declared it by talking. He did not lecture; he conversed. Formore than thirty years he discoursed on the principles of morality, until he arrayed against himself enemies who caused him to be put todeath, for his teachings had undermined the popular system which theSophists accepted and practised.
