Excerpt from Chinese Researches: Chinese Chronology and Cycles A mere cursory observation of the opinions held by educated Chinese, regarding the relative position of their government and usages as compared with those of other countries, discloses the existence of a general impression on their part, that China far surpasses all other nations in historical antiquity, and consequently in a more ancient and tried civilisation both political and social, which the Chinese assert has placed them in possession of the accumulated wisdom of ages, and thus entitles them to be considered superior to those other peoples, whose experience they say is only spread over a comparatively much shorter term of national existence.
