Even in an Eastern country like China, with the long forbearance of the populace, such things would not be endured by the people. Yet in those early days there was an advanced state of civilisation. * There was a reasonable security of life and ; property. The people lived in well-built houses; they I dressed in sil...k or homespun; they wore shoes of leather; they carried unbrellas; they sat on chairs and used tables; they rode in carts and chariots; they travelled by boat;, and they ate their food off plates and dishes of pottery,/ coarse perhaps, yet still superior to the wooden trencher, common not so very long ago in Europe.
