What reading level is Law in Nature, &c., &c., &c. Four Papers, Read Before the Adelaide Philosophical Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If a seed die, it rots and nothing springs from it. In order to the growth of the plant it is essential that the vitality of the germ remain unimpaired; and then, by some power, which in our ignorance of its nature we call the vital force, and by some process, which as yet we are unable to ex- plain, it attracts from the surrounding inorganic elements the mate- rials for building up a perfect plant. Now this fact, which is most strongly insisted upon by the opponents of all theories of develop-... ment or transmutation, appears to me at any rate to involve a very strong argument against their theory of the origination of species in some unexplained manner, but not in the course of ordinary generation. For, assuming, as they assert, that all new species are formed independently ; either by infusing life into some newly-formed germ which shall develop itself into mature and complete being by assimilating from the surrounding elements the necessary materials ; or else by shaping those elements at once into the perfect form of the new animal or plant — and it must be presumed that one or the other of these metiiods is intended — then spontaneous genera- tion is just what we should have a right to expect ; and in the con- ditions of the globe, changing as they are in every locality from year to year, we should always be on the watch to detect these new manifestations of creative power.
