To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Tong-hak proclamation began by declaring in respect- ful language loyal allegiance to the King, and went on to state the grievances in very moderate terms. The Tong-haks asserted, and with undoubted truth, that officials in Korea, for their own purposes, closed the eyes and ears of the King to all news and reports of the wrongs inflicted on his people. That ministers of State, governors, and magistrates were all indiffer- ent to the welfare of their country, and were bent only on enriching ...themselves, and that there were no checks on their rapacity. That examinations (the only avenues to official life) were nothing more than scenes of bribery, barter, and sale, and were no longer tests of fitness for civil appointment. That officials cared not for the debt into which the country was fast sinking. That " they were proud, vainglorious, adulterous, avaricious. " That many officials receiving ap- pointments in the country lived in Seoul. That " they flatter and fawn in peace, and desert and betray in times of trouble.
