To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In a country hke India it is almost impossible to draw the line between history and myth ; and if a line is drawn, the improbable or impossible is preferred to commonplace facts. In China the historical spirit prevails, and has prevailed from time immemorial, and the Chinese show their caution and critical spirit by treating the times of Fuh-hi, who is said to have flourished about 3, 300 years before Christ, as legendary or doubtful. There are stories of long periods prior to this, which are t...reated as myths by historical writers, who say that they are the product of the imaginations of their later philosophers, who invented these long periods to allow of time for the development of their theory of the production of all things from the principles of the Yang and Yin^ The History of the Chinese 63 which may be loosely rendered the Male and the Female, or the active and passive powers of Nature, by which all things in heaven and earth were produced. This process required endless ages for its operation, as Evolution does in modern theories.
