To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a sort of broken stairs to come down on, but none whatever to go up on. And this not in a single instance merely ; it is the habit of the Geologic Ages. You see the argument is cumulative. It is not to be supposed that Geology mistakes in so many particulars and on so wide a field. Besides, these are only the great chasms. Ge- ology is full of minor ones, which, though not so striking, are really as inconsistent with any known scheme of evolution as are the others. It is really just as... impossible to get half-way up the pyramid of Cheops without a flight of steps as it is to get to the top without it. All chasms that deserve the name abhor the Development Hy- SPECIAL CHASMS. 121 pothesis as much as Nature abhors a vacuum. " Nature makes no structural leap which she can hold, " is history ; and so is the necessary motto of the new scheme for explaining Nature.
