This, also, not withstanding that the peoples who so receive
Confucian morals as their guide are of the most various views
concerning religion, i.e., for instance, are Buddhists,
Mahommedans, Taoists, Shintoists, etc. No other ethical system,
whether of religious origin, or of secular, has ever been
acceptable to persons professing religious convictions so diverse.
His political maxims have been regarded as fundamental, and
knowledge of them, as well as of his ethics, has been insisted upon
as a prime essential to political preferment, in a nation which,
despite the not infrequent shifting of ruling dynasties, has the
unparalleled record of continuing from prehistoric times to the
present without a single break. A great step forward in the
dissemination of the doctrine in foreign lands is taken in this
translation. Lofty as appear the ideals, in the usual translations,
they lose the effect on the average reader that the application
which Mr. Dawson has now given them must create. Driving home the
principles by careful compilation under different headings, the
author causes the scheme of ethical conduct to attract and appeal;
and the blessings it has bestowed in the vast expanses of China may
yet give comfort to many people in many other lands.
