32 AMONG THE CELESTIALS. [CHAP. I.
there seem to be many topics quite as good as
geography and the weather, and one hears
long, well - thought - out, and well - expressed
arguments on philosophic and moral subjects,
freely interspersed with quotations from their
classics. The philosophising Chinaman is per-
haps rather too celestial, rather too much above
ordinary mortals, and certainly shows too little
interest in the common everyday affairs of this
world : but he is an interesting man to meet at
home, and, mingled with the irritation which
his superciliousness so often inspires, I had a
feeling of real regard for a mart who can aspire
to such a lofty standpoint as the Chinaman
looks to, and in his case I felt that the seeming
superciliousness was not all simple self-conceit,
but that he had in him the pride engendered
by belonging to an empire which has stood
intact for thousands of years, and which was
approaching civilisation when we ourselves
were steeped in barbarism.
