To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
PART II--MISCELLANEA PEARLS WHAT IS A PEARL?
What is a pearl? The substance of a sensation--the consolidation ofdiscomfort on the part of an oyster or other nacre-secreting mollusc. Itis a globular deposit of carbonate of lime, with a very small proportionof water, generally enclosing a trifle which is its cause and core and, so to speak, is a waste product of the body's chemistry. In therestricted, scientific sense, "true pearls are bodies consisting ofcalcareous material with an organic basis.... " Similar bodies having coresof sand grains or other foreign substance are known as "blisters. " Science, which peers and probes into the innermost affairs of oysters, and speaks of them in terms of uneasy familiarity, asserts that pearlsare frequently caused by a parasite to which they are subject.
It would ill become one who has no scientific pretensions to suggestother definitions, though he may claim to be among the few who have beenprivileged to observe a pearl in the making, or, rather, to watchNature's finishing touches.
