To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In its cultivation the inhabit tants exert their chief industry, and upon its produce they rely, not only for their subsistence, but the few articles of fo- reign luxury or convenience which they purchase. The Ja- vans are a nation of husbandmen, and exhibit that simple structure of society incident to such a stage of its progress.
To the crop the mechanic looks immediately for his wages, the soldier for his pay, the magistrate for his salary, the priest for his stipend (or jdkat)^ and the gove...rnment for its tribute.
The wealth of a province or village is measured by the extent and fertility of its land, its facilities for rice irrigation, and the number of its buffaloes.
When government wishes to raise supplies firom particulax districts, it does not enquire how many rupees or dollars it can yield in taxes, but what contribution of rice or maize it can furnish, and the impost is assessed accordingly : the officer of revenue becomes a surveyor of land or a measurer of pro- duce, and the fruits of the harvest are brought immediately into the ways and means of the treasury.
