pan as the Western Roman Empire was from North China.
Then, as to Gibbon’s perverted story about the Geougen
believing the Huns could bring on storms and rain, we
have seen that the Geougen (who, like the Turks and
Yiieh-pan, were also—at least, in part — Hiung-nu tribes)
are themselves believed by China to have possessed this
power. As to the “ Ogors or Varchonites of the Til,” if
these are, as Gibbon seems to believe, the Ouigours of
the Tula, then these Ouigours are stated by the Chinese
to be practically the High Cart tribes of Geougen times
( 35 0_ 55 °)> an d the Tolos of Turkish times (550-750), and
it is quite certain they never fled far west; for the Western
Turks of the Balkash destroyed the Indo-Scythians, and
set up a powerful separate empire in the Balkash region,
with preponderating, influence over Persia and the Pamir
steppes, not only keeping back China and the minor Tartar
States to their east, but also contesting supreme power with
the mighty Eastern Turks. The fact is, Gibbon’s sonorous
periods make up a striking picture for the imagination to
revel in, but they will not endure the light of criticism so
far as the Avars are concerned. The recent publications of
Elisee Reclus and Albrecht Wirth prove that even our
best Continental writers on this subject are only too apt to
harp upon the old Jesuit strings, and that a more careful
sifting of the solid facts contained in honest Chinese history
is required. Gentlemen of Europe, you must learn Chinese.
