While their character stands high, the con duet in excellent, and they have for a long time back been respected by both Chinese and foreigners.

NOTICE Chun is a man who is very much conceited (the night pedestrian who thinks a THE Interest and Responsibilty of Mr great deal of himself), and one who falsely dilates in satire and raillery. He began life in a very mean position, and is not of respectable family (it. the descendant of the pure and white) While in s menial position, he, moreover, offends his supe tiors. Therefore it would not be arbitrary were he to be banished beyond the frontiers, nor would it be too much wore he to be put to the sword (lit. under the axe).
