I consider that there is a remarkable difference among nations in degree of barb: rity and enlightenment, just as the arent influences, malo anid female, exist in heaven, or the earth is divided into hard and soft parts. Before the ago of the three Emperors, the male influence acting on the round portion of the earth yamed the out a period of time all to look upon the enligl highest og pts to afier any r. But after the asty the mighty i we have just alluded to began to decline, and gradually yielded to the formate element which pervades the ft and changeable parts of the worl Thus the barbarians were eunbled to i ade into civilized territory, and he nee frequently threatened to gain abaolute power. Such a state of affairs could not have been brought about in w short space of time; nor is ite origin to be found in the fact that the revolution ted unobserved, oF that no were made to prevent it.

We may fairly believe it is with the treacherous object of encroaching on our soil when opportunity offers through the outbroxk of hostilities. But we moat tolerate their intercourse and not expel them, while displaying our military power well og our merciful motives, Yet let us take precautionary measures against them, and fortify our important places 60 thet they may not be able to scrutinize the precise condition of our kingdom, Then, by visiting their country, we shall be able to learn much of rheic mechanical skill, as well as the atate of th ins I propose to got in ndvaneo of them, and gain control over instead of being subjugated by them, {0 the time of the wich and Jincho dynasties, defensive measures were effectually tal could not prevent th epoch of Ji jin and Heitei.
