To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am quite sure that any person familiar with natural objects will never be surprised at any appearance of care or finish in them. That is the condition of the univerae. But there is cause both for surprise and inquiry whenever we see anything hke carelessness or incompletion : that is not a common condition ; it must be one appointed for some singular purpose. I believe that such surprise will be forcibly felt by any one who, after studying carefully the hues of some variegated organic form, w...ill set himself to copy with similar diligence those of its colors. The boundaries of the forms he will assuredly, whatever the object, have found drawn ^vith a dehcacy and precision which no human hand can follow. Those of its colors he will find in many cases, though governed always by a certain rude symmetry, yet irregular, blotched, imperfect, liable to all kinds of accidents, and awkwardnesses. Look at the tracery of the lines on a camp shell, and see how oddly and awkwardly its tents are pitched.
