To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This person advised the young prince first to collect a sufficient army; and of the Japanese method of calling to arms Pinto gives the SOUNDING THE CALL TO ARMS o5 following account: Every housekeeper, high and low, was required to keep hy him a conch-shell, which, under severe penalties, could be sounded on four occasions only, — tumults, fire, thieves, and treason. To distin- guish what the alarm was for, the shell was sounded once for tumult, twice for fire, three times for thieves, and four... times for treason. So soon as the alarm of treason was sounded, every householder who heard it was obliged to repeat it. And upon the signal thus given, and which spread from house to house and vil- lage to village, all were obliged to march armed to the spot whence it came, the whole population of the dis- trict being thus very soon collected.
By this means, in the course of seven days, during three of which the young prince lamented his murdered relatives at a convent of bonzes in a grove near the city, after which he proceeded to confiscate the estates of the rebels, Pinto collects for him an army, — he is generally pretty liberal in such matters, — estimated at one hundred and thirty thousand men, of whom seven- teen thousand were cavalry.
