To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He thinks organic matter is its first and or- iginal form, from which inorganic matter was prepared, by fire we suppose, or as coral reefs are built up. Good, Mr. Fechner, I would say, the hypothesis is genial and novel; but we are afraid it proves too much in our favor. If all matter was originally alive, then vital force was prior to all other natural forces, and our definition of life becomes self-evident. First all atoms were alive, hence all were controlled by vital force; then the atoms d...ied, fire changed them into the inorganic body, then and there the other forces made their appearance, probably as mere reflexes of the vital force. The only difficulty with Mr. Fechner's hypothesis is, no means are left to prove it. All other dodges of this kind, feeling matter, world's ether, the fall of gelatinous matter, having been declared mythical, we have arrived again at the beginning, what is life? We could close here, and insist on our definition, without fear of refutation from any scientist, as all the other hypothesis and theories prove a failure.
