Again, Shun, passing by an unworthy son, transmitted the Imperial yellow to an able minister, the great Yu. Yu, though a good sovereign, departed from these illustrious precedents, and incurred the censure of " converting the Empire into a family estate." The hereditary principle became fixed. Branches of the Imperial family were assigned portions of the Empire, and, their descendants succeeding to their principalities, the feudal system was confirmed. This, in China, is the classical form of g...overnment ; Conf u- 1 cius himself compares the majesty of the sovereign to the polar star, which keeps its steadfast place while all the constellations revolve around it. It prevailed under the dynasty of Chow, when the Classics were produced ; and a large part of the classic writ- ings is occupied with questions relating to the balance of power among the feudal lords and the regulation of their relations to the Emperor. Transplanted to Japan, it exists till the present day, where a war among the nobles is now exciting the attention of the public* But in China it was overthrown completely two thousand years ago by one of the most sweeping revolutions on the records of history.
