[Transcriber's Note: Accented Chinese words have been represented
with the appropriate Pinyin tone number. The macron is marked as
tone 1. Neutral (tone 5) u with umlaut is represented as "uu".
U-with-breve is rendered without the breve, as it carries no information.
Japanese long vowels (macrons in the original) are suffixed with "u".
UTF-8 and HTML versions of this text, with the original accents, are also
available.]
