To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" This is very commonly assumed to be a fact, and it isan argument that is commonly brought forward as conclusive; but if youwill take the trouble to inquire into it rather closely, I think youwill find that it is not worth very much. The first question of courseis, Do they thus return to the primitive stock? And commonly as thething is assumed and accepted, it is extremely difficult to get anythinglike good evidence of it. It is constantly said, for example, that ifdomesticated Horses are turn...ed wild, as they have been in some parts ofAsia Minor and South America, that they return at once to the primitivestock from which they were bred. But the first answer that you make tothis assumption is, to ask who knows what the primitive stock was; andthe second answer is, that in that case the wild Horses of Asia Minorought to be exactly like the wild Horses of South America. If they areboth like the same thing, they ought manifestly to be like each other!The best authorities, however, tell you that it is quite different.
