empire_n of_o china_n we_o shall_v now_o according_a to_o our_o proposal_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o second_o chapter_n proceed_v to_o the_o four_o great_a monarchy_n which_o be_v that_o of_o

that_o this_o great_a empire_n be_v the_o most_o ancient_a and_o have_v last_v the_o long_a of_o any_o in_o the_o world_n the_o chinese_n historian_n maintain_v as_o a_o thing_n self-evident_a the_o
