To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such a dedication as you name would tend to verify this wholly baseless as- sertion. . . . His cardinal political principle, so far as I know it at second hand, I reject. He is said to have taught the primitive equality of men. This I hold to be absurd, and my own doctrine implies no such belief, which is quite inconsistent with the evolutionary doctrine the struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. Not the equality of men, but the equality of their claims to make the best of themselv...es within the limits mutually produced, has all along been my principle. . . . The equality alleged [in Social Statics] is not among men themselves, but among their claims to equally-lim- ited spheres for the exercise of their faculties : an utterly different proposition. Huxley confused the two and spread the confusion, and I am anxious that it should not be further spread. Pray, if you have occasion to refer to my views, take care to emphasise this distinc- tion. His interest in affairs of public moment withstood to the last the advance of the infirmities of age.
