To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The deductions which Bacon abolished were from premises arbitrarily assumed, and not tested by verification through specific experience. Until the eighteenth century had well-nigh closed, we find philosophy confounded with metaphysics and science with physics. This was dispersed by the spirit of agnosticism engendered in the human mind, fostered by the promptings of science.
Truth, not based on sound comprehensions of its right place and meaning, proves little better than error. It is within th
...e power of inductive reasoning to explain the facts, whereas form- erly the hypothesis must harmonize with their shiftless theolo- gians. The possibilities of human life analyzed through logic, the instrument of philosophy, has only been appreciated in keep- ing with the unfolding of medical science in its protection of public health to the attainment of the ideal and of existence.
The study of inductive philosophy created a spirit of criticism which was destined at a later period to stimulate the study of anatomy and physiology, making clear that science comes by observation and not by way of authority.
