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

But edifices built in foreign style, with foreign material, under foreign supervision, and contrary to every local tradition, must seem to old-fashioned thinking God-forsaken places ; and servants amid such unhallowed sur- roundings do not feel the invisible about them, the weight of pious custom, the silent claim of beauti- ful and simple things to human respect.
The Rule of the Dead The Rule of the Dead IT should now be evident to the reader that the ethics of Shint5 were all comprised in the
... doctrine of unqualified obedience to customs originating, for the most part, in the family cult.
Ethics were not different from religion; religion was not different from government ; and the very word for government signified " matters-of-religion." All government ceremonies were preceded by prayer and sacrifice ; and from the highest rank of society to the lowest every person was subject to the law of tradition. To obey was piety ; to disobey was impious ; and the rule of obedience was enforced upon each individual by the will of the community to which he belonged.
