What reading level is On the Reception of the 'origin of Species' book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I took my stand upon two grounds: firstly, that up to thattime, the evidence in favour of transmutation was wholly insufficient;and secondly, that no suggestion respecting the causes of thetransmutation assumed, which had been made, was in any way adequate toexplain the phenomena. Looking back at the state of knowledge at thattime, I really do not see that any other conclusion was justifiable.
In those days I had never even heard of Treviranus' 'Biologie. 'However, I had studied Lamarck attenti...vely and I had read the'Vestiges' with due care; but neither of them afforded me any goodground for changing my negative and critical attitude. As for the'Vestiges, ' I confess that the book simply irritated me by theprodigious ignorance and thoroughly unscientific habit of mindmanifested by the writer. If it had any influence on me at all, it setme against Evolution; and the only review I ever have qualms ofconscience about, on the ground of needless savagery, is one I wrote onthe 'Vestiges' while under that influence.
