To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is probable that the Dynastic History of the j\Ianchu dynasty now being compiled will be finished more promptly. At any rate it is likely to be the last of its kind. It is devoutly to be hoped that the censors' records will be preserved for posterity. The censors have ceased to function under the republic. The fear of the verdict of the censors and of the dynastic hi.story doubtless kept many a Chinese monarch from unjust and ill-considered acts. Even the most cursory perusal of Chinese stat...e documents and imperial edicts will show how powerful the pressure was to force conformity to the supposed lessons of history. The great reformer and innovator, Wang An-shih (1021-1086 A.D.), who lived dur- ing the Sung dynasty, was even accused by his enemies of having 720 ir. T. Szvingle published perverted commentaries on ancient history in order more easily to gain credence for his doctrines. Besides the Dynastic Histories, Chinese bibliographers recog- nize fourteen other main classes and many subclasses of his- torical works.
