To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The importance and utility of this simple innovation in a matter of nomenclature are beyond estimate, and if Linnaeus had done nothing else for the advancement of biology, he would be entitled to a conspicuous niche in the temple of fame and to the gratitude of all sub- sequent workers in this field. He for the first time gave technical standing to the systematic names, both generic and specific, of all the plants and ani- mals known at the dates when he introduced the nomen triviale into the n...omenclature of botany and zoology.
It is of interest in this connection to note the number of species of animals known to Linnaeus at the date of publication of the last edition of the " Sys- tema Naturae, " the number known to him personally, and the number recorded respectively from North America and from South America.
Of mammals, the whole number of species recorded is 190, of which three- fourths are based on the descriptions of previous authors. Only 48 were American, 12 from North America and 36 from South America.
