To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
OF SMELLING.
Section I.
THE ORDER OF PROCEEDING OF THE MEDIUM AND ORGAN OF SMELL.
IT is so difficult to unravel the operations of the hu- man understanding, and to reduce them to their first principles, that we cannot expect to succeed in the at- tempt, but by beginning with the simplest, and proceed- ing by very cautious steps to the more complex. The five external senses may, for this reason, claim to be first considered in an analysis of the human faculties. And the same reason ought to dete...rmine us to make a choice even among the senses, and to give the precedence, not to the noblest or most useful, but to the simplest, and that whose objects are least in danger of being mis- taken for other things.
In this view, an analysis of our sensations may be carried on, perhaps with most ease and distinctness, by taking them in this order: Smelling, Tasting, Hearing, Touch, and, last of all, Seeing.
Natural philosophy informs us, that all animal and vegetable bodies, and probably all or most other bodies, while exposed to the air, are continually sending forth effluvia of vast subtilty, not only in their state of life and growth, but in the states of fermentation and putre- faction.
