To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* * " The minds of most men are fond of what they call a principle, and of the appearance of simplicity in accounting for phenomena. Yet this principle, this simplicity, resides merely in the name ; which name, after all, comprises, perhaps, under it a diversified, multifarious, or progressive operation, distinguishable into parts. The power in organized bodies, of producing bodies li^e themselves, is one of these principles. Give a philos opher this, and he can get on. But he does not reflect ...what this mode of production, this principle (if such he chooses to call it, ) requires; how much it presupposes ; what an apparatus of instruments, some of which are strictly mechanical, is necessary to its success ; what a train it includes of operations and changes, one succeeding another, one related to another, one ministering to another ; all advancing, by intermediate, and frequently by sensible steps, to their ultimate result ! Yet because the whole of this complicated action is wrapped up in a single term, generation, we are to set it down as an elementary principle ; and to suppose, that when we have resolved the things which we see into this principle, we have suffi ciently accounted for their origin, without the necessity of a designing, intelligent Creator.
