Japanese: 山路愛山の文学観は、明治26年（1893年）に『國民の友』誌上で北村透谷との間に展開された、「人生に相渉るとは何の謂ぞ」という論争に見られる。

Japanese: 文学者が史論家のように「事業」をなすために文を作るのではないこと、「勝利」を至上目的にするわけではないことを弁護しようとしたのである。
English: This dispute indicated that Aizan regarded literature in the same light as politics, and showed that he thought no lines should be drawn between a person's purpose and the nation's, and that ideas were useless unless they were followed by actions.
Japanese: この論争は、愛山が文学と政治を同一視し、さらには個人と国家の目的を分けようとしないこと、思想とは行動を引き起こさなければ無益であると考えていることを示した。
English: Aizan's attitude toward Christianity was the same as those, and he was quoted as saying: "I am the one who believes that the last resort to plant the ideas of justice and human feelings in the world is rely on the use of force and nothing else."
Japanese: キリスト教に対する愛山の態度もこの通りであり、「余は正義と人情とを世界に植ゆる最後の手段はただ腕力に頼るの外なきを信ずる者なり」と考えていた。
English: It was not the religion of peace and idleness, but the one that accompanied enterprises and actions and forced his ideas with the sword.
Japanese: 平和にして無為な宗教ではなく、事業と行動を伴い思想を剣で強要する宗教である。
English: Thus, for him, the imperialism and socialism were merely the means to bring people in unity and make the state to create businesses, and according to his theories, as Niccolo MACHIAVELLI put it, the will of a person would be absorbed for his or her homeland and the state itself would be the subject of worship.
Japanese: このようにしてかれにとって帝国主義や社会主義は、国民を一致団結させ国家に事業を興させる手段であり、ニッコロ・マキャヴェッリのように、祖国のために個人の意志は吸収され、国家そのものが崇拝の対象となる。
English: Aizan, who regarded history as practical learning, had a belief that said 'just like the ancient times are still the same as the present ones, and the present times are similar to the ancient ones; life is controlled by the same principles and the country will rise and fall by circulating the same fate.'
Japanese: 実学として歴史を考えた愛山には、「古は猶今の如く、今は猶古の如く、人生は同じ法則に因りて動き、國は同じ運命を循環して盛衰する」という信念があった。
English: Therefore, for him, the historical heroes were the ones who set examples and expressed their times, with the prime example being one who possessed absolute spirit, the idea asserted by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich HEGEL.

English: His essays on history were regarded on a par with Sorai OGYU's "Seidan" (discussion of law cases) and later with political essays such as Machiavelli's "Discourses on Livy."
Japanese: かれの史論は、荻生徂徠の『政談』を経て、マキャヴェッリの『ディスコルシ』のような政論とも比べられる。
English: He put more value in gaining insights on the essence of the times from historical characters than building extensive knowledge in history and checking historical background.
Japanese: 史実に関する博学・考証より、歴史人物のうちに生動する時代の本質への洞察を尊ぶ。
English: His emotional involvement in the times and aspirations as a political analyst to win independence made Soho to say: "If you shall seek victory, you will be the best in the field of historical analysis."
Japanese: 時代への感情移入と、政論家としての国家独立への志が、蘇峰をして「もし君の勝ち場を求めば、史論に如くはなし」といわせた叙述となった。
English: For Aizan, ideology and politics were "something nondetachable," and he considered history as the whole of those ideas; especially paying attention to the background of the economic society.
Japanese: 思想・政治は、愛山にとって「密着して離れざるもの」であり、歴史をそうした全体として考え、経済社会の背景にも特に関心を払っていた。
English: In an essay titled 'Historical Science and Historians in Modern Japan,' which was carried in "Taiyo" magazine in 1909, he said he was looking forward to seeing the new tendency that viewed history from the standpoint of economy and said: "Such a research method can take a fresh look at the past, and I assume that historical science in the future could open a new era with the help of this tendency."
Japanese: 明治42年（1909年）『太陽』に掲載された「日本現代の史学及び史家」のなかで、歴史を経済の観点から見る新しい傾向に期待を寄せ、「此の如き研究方法は即ち新しき目を以て過去を読むものにして、将来の史学はおそらくは此の傾向に依りて新時期を作るに至らんか」と言っている。

English: In 1864, the Choshu Domain was consecutively hit by troubles, such as the Kinmon Incident, the Shimonoseki War, and the Choshu-Bakufu War, and this series of misadventures lead the belligerent war faction (mainly formed by the "Choshu Justice Party" [reformists of the Choshu clan]) to lose in a power struggle with the deference faction (mainly formed by conventional party).
Japanese: 1864年（元治元年）、長州藩は禁門の変、下関戦争、長幕戦争と厄続きであったため、藩内の政権闘争で主戦派（主に長州正義派）が恭順派（主に俗論派）に敗れた。

Japanese: その余波を受けて波多野金吾も野山獄に投獄されたものの、長州正義派でなかったため処刑は免れた。
English: In 1865, Shinsaku TAKASUGI, who was living in exile, launched a military coup d'etat, persuading Shunsuke ITO, Kyosuke YAMAGATA and others to join, and the Justice Party succeeded in regaining the control of the Choshu clan.

Japanese: 1879年には維新の功を賞し、先に没した木戸・大久保の遺族とともに、広沢家は華族に列せられた。
English: The conferment of the peerage of that time was only limited to the former feudal domain heads and court nobles, and except for these three examples, nobody from shizoku (family or person with samurai ancestors) achieved to ascend to the peerage before the Peerage Law was enacted.
Japanese: 因みに、当時の華族は旧藩主と公家に限定されており、華族令制定以前にこの3例を除いて士族から華族に昇ることはなかった。
English: "Diary of Saneomi HIROSAWA" is highly evaluated as a first class material for the end of the Edo period comparable with those of Kido and Okubo.
Japanese: 『広沢真臣日記』は、木戸や大久保の日記と並んで幕末維新史の一級資料として評価が高い。

English: This was the third magnicide against the restoration government leaders, after Shonan YOKOI and Masujiro OMURA, and the Emperor Meiji, who highly trusted in Hirosawa, gave an exceptional imperial order to urge the capture of the criminals as ''to ensure the arrest of the perpetrators.'

Japanese: 捜査に関しては、小河一敏、雲井龍雄、その残党など、80数名が暗殺の容疑者として取り調べられたものの、下手人の特定にさえ至らず、真相は今日に至るまで不明である。
English: As this has been an unsolved case, there are various theories about the possible murderers and the mastermind of the assassination; it is commonly thought that fuhei shizoku (former samurai with gripes) of the former bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun) side, who felt uncomfortable with the restoration government, or the remnants of the former army of bakufu must have been the assassins and its mastermind.
Japanese: 未解決事件であるため、暗殺の下手人・黒幕に関しては諸説あるが、その怨恨的手口・新選組的手口から、維新政府を快く思わない旧幕府側の不平士族や旧幕府軍の残党が下手人・黒幕として一般的に考えられている。
English: Some people also take advantage of the situation, in which the case went unsolved, and make opportunistic inferences as follows; because Kido and Hirosawa were opposing each other, or it was a conspiracy of old-guard party, including Okubo, who wanted to drag Kido, the giant of the Kaimei (enlightenment) group, to the public, etc.
Japanese: 未解決事件であることをいいことに、木戸と広沢の仲が悪かったからだとか、開明派の巨頭である木戸を政府の前面に引っ張り出したい大久保など守旧派による謀略だ、などと願望する向きもある。
English: However, at the time, the principal figures of Saccho (Satsuma, Choshu, Tosa Domains) (Koin KIDO, Toshimichi OKUBO, Takamori SAIGO, Taisuke ITAGAKI, Aritomo YAMAGATA, and others) had left Tokyo leaving their complete trust in Sangi (councilor) Saneomi HIROSAWA and others, to recruit the members Goshimpei (army to convoy the emperor) and gather them in Tokyo as a preparatory measure prior to the Haihan-chiken (abolition of feudal domains and establishment of prefectures), and to promote further reform of domain duties of their respective provinces.
Japanese: しかし、この当時、薩長土の枢要（木戸孝允・大久保利通・西郷隆盛・板垣退助・山縣有朋たち）は、廃藩置県の準備として御親兵を東京に集めるため、また自藩の藩政改革を更に推し進めるため、参議広沢真臣らに全幅の信頼を置いて東京を留守にしていた。
English: And, they had been drifting from place to place during months, starting from Kyoto to Osaka, Choshu, Tosa and Satsuma.
Japanese: そして、自分たちは何ヶ月もの間、京、大坂、長州、土佐、薩摩を転々としているという状態であった。
English: If it was true that some discontented elements of Satsuma or Choshu were involved such as the disaster of Masujiro OMURA, it would have been revealed spontaneously and prosecuted.
Japanese: 仮に、大村益次郎の遭難同様に薩摩や長州の不平分子が関与していたというのであれば、政府内部で自然に露見し追求されるはずである。
English: Moreover, if someone of Satsuma or Choshu had been involved, those of Dohi (the Tosa and Hizen Domains), who wanted to weaken the influence of Saccho (the Satsuma and Choshu Domains), would not have just looked on it with their arms folded..
Japanese: また、もし薩摩や長州の人間が関与していたのであれば、薩長の力を弱めたい土肥の者たちが手をこまねいていたはずがない。
English: However, in reality the people of Tosa and Hizen were not able to find any single suspect among the people of Saccho, and it is quite unnatural to arrive at such a conclusion.
Japanese: が、土肥の者たちも怪しい薩長の人間を一人も見つけられず、これまた極めて不自然である。
English: Therefore, it is impossible to think that someone of Saccho was involved in this case.
Japanese: よって、この事件に関しては、薩長の人間が関与していたとは到底考えられない。
