To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The column of progress has recoiled abruptly from their inclement altitudes, and restricts itself to the narrow margin between their southern base and the raggedly indented sea-coast. Here the northern half, or semi-zone, of the isothermal belt, has been left unoccupied ; society is cut in half, crippled in territory, and fatally dwarfed in variety and numbers. It has vegetated without elasticity ; unin- telligent and sluggish. Everywhere pinched in or repelled by inland seas, the onward pro- g...ress hence to the western shores of Europe, exhibits only transient exemp- tions from demoralization and disorder. Absorbed by the sterile areas of the Persian Gulf, the Pontic, Propontic and Mediterranean Seas, land in the southern half of the isothermal zone is here either totally wanting, or the water surface is only freckled by a stingy succession of peninsulas and small islands, inhabited in broken links. If, then, the area occupied by China be alone excepted, the narrow and hostile geographical structure of the margin along which the column of society has struggled through Asia and Europe, explains its slow, embar- rassed, and fitful advance.
