To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet man himself in his specialised nature may be none the greater for all these things. Many a heart in Caesar s legions beat as true as ours, or thrilled as deeply with tribal desperation among the resisting Britons, near two thousand years ago — perhaps at the very spot where these fiery contests may one day rage. Will any one dare to say either that such applied science in itself raises or lowers all who personally profit by its conditions ? Will he not rather admit at once that Caesar or Al...exander, Gustavus Adolphus or Napoleon, Clive, Henry Lawrence, or Havelock, or other great commanders who will wield the tre- mendous forces of future warfare, were what they were, or will be what they may be, despite of the scientific epoch in which they have been or may happen to be placed? that there is something outside and beyond the application of science to the arts of life, which helps him on towards his highest goal? that it is a delusion to suppose that the best faculties of man are or can be called out by his material surroundings alone, or by a knowledge of their nature ?
