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

215 oftener serves the purpose of prevention than of defence. The first demonstration of a violence to be offered on the one hand, when met by the pre- paration and the counter-menace of an incipient resentment on the other, not only repels the ag- gression after it has begun, but still more fre- quently, we believe, through the reaction and restraint of fear on the otherwise attacking party, prevents the aggression from being made. The stout and formidable antagonists eye each other with a sor...t of natural respect; and, as if by a common though tacit consent, wisely abstain on either side from molestation, and pass onward without a quarrel. It is thus that many a fierce contest is forborne, which, but for the operation of anger on the one side and fear upon the other, would most certainly have been entered upon.
And so, by a system or machinery of reciprocal checks and counteractives, and where the mental affections too perform the part of essential forces, there is not that incessant warfare of extermination which might have depopulated the world.
