The proclamation is good enough in its way, but its utility, as with all edicts, will depend entirely upon the willingness of individual officials to execute its various provisions.

The same argumcat applies the Imperial Edict of the and inst., which in its wording and professed intent is the most distinctly "reform" Edict that we have had. It emphatically urges officials to adopt a thorough system of reform, after the lines of the programme memorialized by Li Kun-yi, and figuratively implores the nation with tears to turn itself inside-out at the feet of Westem tutors. What the reforms specially indicated really amount to is of course another question altogether, and the Edict may in Chinese circles be quite understood to mean one thing, while we fondly believe it to mean another. However, some predict for believing that, for
