FOOTNOTES

1 Sir Edwin Arnold's _Seas and Lands_, chap. xxvii.

2 Charles II's queen, it will be remembered, was Katharine of Braganza.

3 This rendering seems preferable to the more usual "Way of the G.o.ds."

The term _Polytheism_ is not, strictly speaking, applicable to s.h.i.+nto.

4 One of the great temples at s.h.i.+ba, Tokio, was burnt by the Buddhists to prevent its falling into the hands of the s.h.i.+nto priests. It may be mentioned here, as an instance of the liberal feeling of the present (s.h.i.+nto) government, that one of this same group of buildings was lent for the Church of England services, before St.

Andrew's church was built. It is the old n.o.bility who have been throughout the uncompromising opponents of Christianity, and indeed of all change; and the most zealous supporters of Buddhism.

5 Eden's j.a.pan, Historical and Descriptive.

6 Even an approximate total is difficult to calculate. At the lowest estimate we have a number considerably exceeding the whole ma.s.s of Christians. But it is important to bear in mind that in China, _which supplies more than three-fourths of the total number_, both Taouism and Confucianism are professed in conjunction with Buddhism.
