What reading level is Excursions of An Evolutionist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The only connected outline of Spencerian sociology as yet in existence (save what has been published by Mr. Spencer himself) is that which is contained in the second volume of my " Outlines of Cosmic Philosophy." That the opinions therein expressed harmonize in the main with Mr. Spencer's I have the strongest possible reasons for asserting. Yet the line of thought followed in this part of my work, and especially in the chapter on "Condi- tions of Progress," is far more closely parallel with Mr.... Bagehot's line of thought than with Mr. Allen's. Separate passages might be cited to the same effect ; as, for example, where it is said (vol. ii. p. 199) that the ecclesiastical re- forms of Gregory VII. have — in their remote re- sults, of course — had more influence upon Amer- ican history than the direction of the Rocky Mountains or the position of the Great Lakes.
On the next page, alluding to Mr. Buckle's theory Digitized by Google Sociology and Hero-WorsUp. 189 that the difference in Arabian civilization before and after the time of Mohammed was due to the difference between the soil of Arabia and that of Spain, Persia, and India, I say, ^^ To exhibit the utter superficiality of this explanation, we have only to ask two questions : First, if the Arabs became civilized only because they exchanged their native deserts for Spain, Persia, and India, why did not the same hold true of the Turks when they exchanged their barren steppes for the rich empire of Constantinople?
