Excerpt from The Fall of the Nan Soung, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale of the Mogul Conquest of China
Though the period I have selected for my story that of the conquest of the Chinese empire by the Moguls in the latter half of the thirteenth century - may appear as too remote to permit of the manners of a people of the present day being illustrated in the persons of their sires so many generations back, yet the reader must recollect that the customs and ideas of the celestial empire exist, at present, the same as in the remotest antiquity, and that the Chinese consider any variation from the habits of their ancestors as being a most dread impiety.
