To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nevertheless there is an underlying truth in the old distinction between animals and plants, though it applies only in a rough sense to the higher terms of the two series. Fixity of position is the common lot of the higher plants just as an ambulatory habit is the rule for the higher animals. I propose, on the one hand, to examine the circumstances which may have led to the adoption of the fixed habit in plants, and on the other to point out certain disabilities which it imposes upon them. Thes...e have had to be overcome before success could be assured among the thronged life which subsists on the earth's surface.
It is through the study of nutrition and mechanical construction that the circumstances are to be sought which have led to the adoption of the fixed habit by plants. The two kingdoms differ widely in their methods ; for while animals take their organic supply at second hand, absorbing in some form or another material already elaborated from its inorganic sources, capturing it, and ingesting it often in bulk ; plants go direct to those inorganic sources, and elaborate their food themselves, absorbing its materials always molecule by molecule.
