To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And Huxley, with his noble perspicacity, wrote l : " The inquiry into the truth or falsehood of a matter of history is just as much a question of pure science as the inquiry into the truth or falsehood of a matter of geology, and the value of evidence in the two cases must be tested in the same way. " This, however, is going somewhat too far. No human being can look on the facts of history in the perfectly calm and unemotional manner in which the 1 Life and Letters, ii. P. 212.
HUMAN SCIENCE 81... geologist can examine strata and rocks. Freedom from bias, impartiality, is the standard which the historian strives to reach so far as he can ; but he cannot attain to it by a mere volition ; it has to be approached through infinite pains and most careful self-culture. If, how- ever, one omits in Huxley's statement the word pure as applied to science, it will be roughly correct. The canons of evidence are fundamentally the same in biology, in chemistry, in history, in the law courts; only in biology one can examine organs and tissues again and again, in chemistry one can make fresh combinations by way of experiment, whereas when one deals with human beings one has to make allowances, to eliminate bias, to discount authorities, and so one can seldom arrive at a result which is more than probable.
