To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ruler must also think of rendering them yirtuous, and of preserving them from whatever can injure life and health. When yon woidd caution them, use gentle words, when you would correct, employ autho- rity." "Do not be ashamed of mistakes, and thus make them crimes," was another piece of wholesome advice offered to the Emperor by his advisers, the effect of which is still observ- able in the outspoken confessions of official incompetence which are daily to be met with in the columns of the P...eking Gazette. As, in reviewing the national history, I shall treat at some length the compilation which stands next on the list of the classics — ^the "Book of Odes," — ^I will now pass on to mention a work whose dicta have entered into the very marrow of Chinese life — ^I mean the Le ke, or "Book of Rites." This work is said to have been com- piled by the Duke of Chow in the twelfth century B.C., since which time it has ever been the g^de and rule by which Chinamen have regu- lated all the actions and relations of their lives.
