To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
240 But still Spencer's breakdown and subsequent ill-health made him a pathetic figure to me; filled me indeed with regret, if not remorse, that I had been so discourteous as to annoy him with my rude health and ruder difference of opinion.
A few years later I, too, learned what "nerves" were and knew that a debate rudely pushed on one might have appalling conse- quences. Our excuse is: we know not what we do.
More than anything we men need constant consideration for others, the most tremulous ...womanly sensitiveness, and we are all too apt to show hard indifference or that unthinking selfishness which is the brazen shield and front of all human wrong-doing.
But now, before I leave this "Autobiography, " let me say that there are good things in it; food for the mind, if not for the soul. , Spencer's ideas on education, his conviction that an elementary knowledge even of our own bodies and minds, of physiology and psychology, would be a thousand times more valuable than a smattering of Latin and Greek; his insistence on teaching the true conduct of life, on having the pitfalls and dangers of living explained even to children, were all very valuable and far ahead of ordinary opinion even in our time.
