  that　series　of　great　Shoguns　whom　our　European　notions　distorted
  into　〃Temporal　Emperors〃　of　Japan。　　Yoshitsune；　to　whom　the　real
  honour　of　these　victories　belonged；　became　the　object　of　the
  jealousy　and　hatred　of　his　brother；　and　was　hunted　from　province　to

  in　sake；　was　sent　to　his　brother　at　Kamakura。　　Scholars；　however；
  are　not　agreed　as　to　the　manner；　period；　or　scene　of　his　death。
  Many　believe　that　he　escaped　to　Yezo　and　lived　among　the　Ainos　for
  many　years；　dying　among　them　at　the　close　of　the　twelfth　century。
  None　believe　this　more　firmly　than　the　Ainos　themselves；　who　assert
  that　he　taught　their　fathers　the　arts　of　civilisation；　with　letters
  and　numbers；　and　gave　them　righteous　laws；　and　he　is　worshipped　by
  many　of　them　under　a　name　which　signifies　Master　of　the　Law。　　I
  have　been　told　by　old　men　in　Biratori；　Usu；　and　Lebunge；　that　a
  later　Japanese　conqueror　carried　away　the　books　in　which　the　arts
  were　written；　and　that　since　his　time　the　arts　themselves　have　been
  lost；　and　the　Ainos　have　fallen　into　their　present　condition！　　On
  asking　why　the　Ainos　do　not　make　vessels　of　iron　and　clay　as　well
  as　knives　and　spears；　the　invariable　answer　is；　〃The　Japanese　took
