To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A person having obtained these thoughts, either by his own observation or from the aescription of others, would unite them by a more or less rapid synthesis. It is plain that they are the parts of a metaphysical whole. But even in the case of objects easily viewed as mathematical wholes, our notions are ordinarily formed by synthesis and not by composition. A tree may be considered as composed of roots, trunks, branches, twigs, leaves, and fruit, as separable parts; but our idea of a tree is no...t formed by the mental composition of these parts as in certain relations to each other. After one had seen the separable parts of a tree, he would indeed think of them as included within the object; but his conception would also embrace various elements char- acterizing the tree as a whole. He would regard it as a material body, as a vegetable growth of a certain size and height, and as capable of reproducing its kind by a certain process. These thoughts would enter into his conception as metaphysical parts.
