To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But this is all we can assert ; and we cannot deny that we have given birth to very few indeed of the foremost poets, dramatists, novelists, painters, sculptors, architects or scientific discoverers of the last hundred years.
Alfred Russel Wallace, whose renown is linked with Darwin's and whose competence as a critic of scientific advance is beyond dis- pute, has declared that the nineteenth century was the most wonderful of all since the world began. He asserts that the scientific achieve- men...ts of the last hundred years, both in the discovery of general principles and in their practical application, exceed in number the sum total of the scientific achievements to be credited to all the centuries that went before.
He considers, first of all, the practical applica- tions, which made the aspect of civilization in 1900 differ in a thousand ways from what it had 17 Jimctican been in 1801. He names a dozen of these prac- €fjatactet tical applications : railways, steam navigation, the electric telegraph, the telephone, friction- matches, gas-lighting, electric lighting, the photograph, the Roentgen rays, spectrum an- alysis, anesthetics, and antiseptics.
