Chinese

草昧之初,無不以神為教者,不獨支那也。以上所述,斯倍沙魯輩己先論之。原始時代人間宗教之觀念,大底如此.

English translation

At the very beginning of the chaotic age, there was no [culture/ people] that did not rely on the notion of spirit as their religion. China is not alone here: What I described above had been already discussed by Spencer (斯倍沙) and Lubbock (魯輩). The religious notion of the people of the primitive age is like that. (Werzner)
