To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If, therefore, we were to conceive it possible for any combination of inanimate matter to create a sentient, willing, and intellectual principle, that newly-created power must be alto- gether distinct from the inert compound -mass by which it is developed. In this view of the question, therefore, we should be obliged to refer R 2 THE PHENOMENA OF LIFE. the vital principle to the operation of some in- visible, unknown, subtile power acting upon and controlling the matter by which it is supposed ...to be generated. The difficulties attending the consideration of the operation of the vital func- tions are not in the least degree diminished by this hypothesis ; and, in addition to those diffi- culties which surround the subject, on the sup- position of the phenomena of life being caused by the existence of an immaterial living prin- ciple developed by material organisation, there would be superadded the incomprehensible and perpetual self-creation of sensation, volition, and intelligence out of inanimate matter.
