To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, undoubtedly they were original and not transmitted creations. These inventions arose at places separated by distances then almost impas- sable, by the same necessities and thoughts, by obser- vation and imitation of nature, and by many other inner and outer promptings and circumstances.

This estimate may be below the true mark ; but the humanity whose emancipation or redemption was to be accomplished, was not limited to the Roman world. For, from Iran and the Indus to the Kuenlun ridges, dwelt a population five or six times greater than that which populated the Roman empire, and that, too, almost unvisited by that terrible social plague which is now represented as being a divine blessing.
