To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

A judi- cious English writer, to whose remarks we have been much indebted, says, — "From the close of the sixteenth century, when the Japanese Mai/re du Falais^ Taiko Sama, separated the empire into its two lay and spiritual divisions, civil war has ceased, the pageant of government has been played on, without interruption, by the two prin- cipal actors and their subordinates, and the operations of the real executive have been con- tinued with all the regularity and precision of machinery. The ...founder of these institutions musty surely, have been no ordinary legislator.
The sceptre which he wielded has, indeed, become a bauble in the hands of his descendants, for the Koboe, or lay emperor, equally with his spiritual counterpart, wears out his life in one long dream of ideal sovereignty ; and so profound and subtle is the spell of habit, custom, and etiquette, which wraps them in that charmed sleep, that it is impossible to anticipate the period of its dissolu- tion, or the process by which it can be broken." * * " Quarterly Eeview," vol.
