To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They have never been observed in connection with rich Chinamen.
They are peculiar only to poverty. They belong to the miserable — to the mis- erable of all countries. What Mr. Griffia-, in his recent chapter on the "Heart of Japan," says of that country, is true also of China: the peasantry are very poor. The nakedness of the towns, of the houses, of the people, their scant fare, their degradation — which were only to be fully perceived when he reached the interior of the country — made him exc...laim, with disappointment: "I began to realize the utter poverty and wretchedness of the people and the country of Japan" (p. 415).. Yet everywhere he found some education and abundance of good nature (p. 420).
It is the same in China. The nobles are the richest in the world; the peas- ants are the poorest. What little of the latter's habits and srrroundings has proved repulsive to Occidental eyes, is the result, not of inferior morality, but of inferior wealth. The European peasant was in the same condition three centuries ago, and in some oountries^or example, Russia, Eastern Germany, Roumania, Ireland, and parts of Italy and Portugal — he is very nearly in a similar' condition to-day".
