To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The principal weapons used both in war and hunting were bows and arrows, consequently the practice of Digitized by V:iOOQIC 136 THE OLDEST AND THE NEWEST EMPIRE.
archery was a constant and fayorite sport of the great, and there were particular rules by which it was con- ducted ; as, for example, the imperial target was the skin of a bear, while that of a stag was set up as a mark for a prince to aim at, and that of a tiger for the gran- dees of the court. Yet the Chinese have not often during t...heir long history attempted to enter the lists of the world as a martial nation, holding literature, as they have done husbandry, in far higher estimation than mili- tary achievements; regarding the man who distinguishes himself by his literary attainments beyond him who gained renown by his warlike exploits, and the hus- bandman who labored in the field as a better member of society than the soldier who fought in it. Yet the petty princes were frequently at war with each other, so that the whole of the empire was seldom quite at peace.
