To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Productions, they must certainly be reckoned among the chief necessaries of an enlightened nation, and on this account I mention them here. Lead, tin, and quicksilver may also be reckoned as chief neces saries, because they are required in the refining of gold and silver, and also in the manufacture of arms, which are used by every na tion that values its independence. For the latter reason, brimstone comes under the same head. Rice grows in such great abundance in the middle part of the Island... of Niphon, that the Japanese, notwithstanding the extraor dinary population of the country, do not want to import it. It is true they receive rice from China, but only out of precaution, lest, in case of scarcity, the Chinese government should make a difficulty to permit the exportation of it, and exclude it from the number of goods which form the usual articles of trade between the two king doms. The northern provinces of Japan, viz. : the principalities of Nambu and Tzyngaru, are poor in rice, and receive it, for the most part, from other countries ; it is not cultivated in Matsmai, Sachalin, and the Kurile Islands, because it will not grow, on ac count of the cold climate.
