To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the creation of man, we have the crude speculations that have already been cited (p. 98), a miserable substitute for wisdom that comes from above. Temptations to remark and criticism follow one, all through the pages of such a work ; there is so much to complain of, in the author's philosophy, his exegesis, his ready way of making the Mosaic record literal or " phenomenal," to suit his theory ; his misapprehension of science, and denuncia- tion of established truth. . We therefore have had t...o cull spar- ingly, not to run to a tedious length. Is it not a marvel that a learned Professor should accord, in his cosmogony, with the views of science in all their grander points, and yet lose no opportunity to denounce science : should adopt, with science, the idea of indefinite periods for days, and then pick a quarrel because geologists make the days, he thinks, too long ; should build up a sys- tem out of Nature and natural causes, or what he supposes to be natural causes, and still abuse a science that also uses Nature and natural causes, and studies not to stretch those causes beyond what is warranted by du*ect observation ; should attempt to grasp a subject that requires the highest knowledge of natural possibilities, without the least investi- gation as to what are the actual powers or capabilities of Nature ?
