To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In such a case, should the ob- noxious governor escape the vengeance of the populace, he seldom meets with any mercy at Peking, where revolts prove serious occurrences to those under whom they take place.
To the system of clubbing together in families — we might almost say in clans — is to be attributed that sacred regard to kindred which operates better than a public provision for the relief of the poor, and serves as one of the best means for the distribution of wealth ; a valuable science, i...n which they perhaps beat our economists, though they do not equal them in the rules for its creation. Hence, too, that regard for the place of his birth which always clings to a Chinese through life, often making him apply for leave to quit the honours and emoluments of office, and retire to his native village.
Chap. IX. INFANTICIDE. 305 The same feeling makes the colonists, who venture abroad in search of gain, return home as soon as they have acquired something like a competency, though at the risk of being oppressed under the forms of law for having left China, They have a popular saying, " If he who attains to honours or wealth never returns to his native place, he is like a finely-dressed person walking in the dark ; " it is all thrown away.
