To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As there is a single matter, clay, which is the matter of all bricks, so there is a single matter, protoplasm, which is the matter of all organ- isms. " Protoplasm is the clay of the potter, which, bake it and paint it as he will, remains clay, separated by artifice, and not by nature, from the commonest brick or sun-dried clod. " Now here I cannot help stopping a moment to remark that Mr Huxley puts emphatically his whole soul into this sentence, and evidently believes it to be, if we may use ...the word, a clincher. But, after all, does it say much ? or rather, does it say anything ? To the question, " Of what are you made 1 " the answer, for a long time now, and by the great mass of human beings who are supposed civilised, has been " Dust. " Dust, and the same dust, 28 AS REGARDS PROTOPLASM, ETC. lias been allowed to constitute us all. But materialism has not on that account been the irresistible result. Attention hitherto and surely excusably, or even laudably in such a case has been given not so much to the dust as to the " potter, " and the " artifice " by which he could so transform, or, as Mr Huxley will have it, modify it.
