FOOTNOTES

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 Gods."
The term _Polytheism_ is not, strictly speaking, applicable to
Shinto.
4 One of the great temples at Shiba, Tokio, was burnt by the Buddhists
to prevent its falling into the hands of the Shinto priests. It may
be mentioned here, as an instance of the liberal feeling of the
present (Shinto) 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 nobility who have been
throughout the uncompromising opponents of Christianity, and indeed
of all change; and the most zealous supporters of Buddhism.

6 Even an approximate total is difficult to calculate. At the lowest
estimate we have a number considerably exceeding the whole mass 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.
