tells some things which perhaps all

"Of rank, there are eight classes after
the mikado and the ziogoon, namely
(1) the princes; (2l the mobiles who
owe feudal service to the prince, or
the empire t3) the priests; CAD the
soldiers. These four form the higher
orders and enjoy the privilege Of
wearing two swords and petticoat
trousers; 90 inferior officials and doc
tors, called respectable, allowed to
wear one sword, with the trousers;
(6) merchants and tradesmen, whose
legs may not pollute the trousers,
though by entering as domestics to a
man Of rank they may enjoy the privi-
lege Of wearing one sword; these are
the only people by whom wealth can
be accumulated; Cd artists, artisans
and petty shop-keepers; 90 day labor
ers and peasants. Tradesmen who
work on leather, tanners, etc, are ex'
cluded from classification. They are
defled, and may not even live with
other men; they live in villages oi
their own.
