people whose knowledgs orS, foreign
nations was of recent origin, an who
were nurtured uuder a tra1itional
system to which they were accustom-
ed and alta ched, because such q policy
would tend to revolution and repress

ernment fully admitted the necessity
Of progress, and desired to encourage
1t gradually, without a sudden shock
to the feelings, passions, or prejudioes
of the people.

admitted that the Chinese were en-
| titled to forbearance from foreign ma
| tions, and assured Mr.. Burlingame

order to induce China to advance
more rapidly In her intercourse with
foreign nations than was consistent
