Extended Fritz at Six, 7:23.

Oh, so do you want me to go to Kevin and Malvern?

Yeah, sure.

[laughs]

I'll get a call Rod if you do that.

[laughs]

Kevin and Malvern, you're on WIP.

Hey, man, I, I, I have a, I have a question, actually.

In concluding this preface, I wish to express my thanks to my friend Anna C. Hartshorn for many valuable suggestions, and for the characteristically Japanese design made by her for the cover of this book.

Inazo Nitobe, Malvern, Pennsylvania, 12th month, 1899 Preface to the Tenth and Revised Edition Since its first publication in Philadelphia more than six years ago, this little book has had an unexpected history.

The Japanese reprint has passed through eight editions, the present thus being its tenth appearance in the English language.

Simultaneously with this will be issued an American and English edition through the publishing house of Messrs. George H. Putnam's Sons of New York.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Have you done, um, have you been to Taco Mar in Malverne yet? It's Mexican, but it's, like-

Yeah

... homemade and fresh.

PREFACE About ten years ago, while spending a few days under the hospitable roof of the distinguished Belgian jurist, the lamented M. de Lavallee, our conversation turned, during one of our rambles, to the subject of religion.

"'Do you mean to say,' asked the venerable professor, "'that you have no religious instruction in your schools?' on my replying in the negative he suddenly halted in astonishment and in a voice which i shall not easily forget he repeated no religion how do you impart moral education the question stunned me at the time i could give no ready answer for the moral precepts i learned in my childhood days were not given in schools and not until i began to analyze the different elements that formed my notions of right and wrong did i find that it was bushido that breathed them into my nostrils the direct inception of this little book is due to the frequent queries put by my wife as to the reasons why such and such ideas and customs prevail in japan in my attempts to give satisfactory replies to m de laville and to my wife i found that without understanding feudalism and bushido the moral ideas of present japan are a sealed volume taking advantage of enforced idleness on account of long illness i put down in the order now presented to the public some of the answers given in our household conversation they consist mainly of what i was taught and told in my youthful days when feudalism was still in force between lafcadio hearne and mrs hugh fraser on one side and sir ernest sato and professor chamberlain on the other it is indeed discouraging to write anything japanese in english the only advantage i have over them is that i can assume the attitude of a personal defendant while these distinguished writers are at best solicitors and attorneys i have often thought had i their gift of language i would present the cause of japan in more eloquent terms but one who speaks in a borrowed tongue should be thankful if he can just make himself intelligible all through the discourse i have tried to illustrate whatever points i have made with parallel examples from european history and literature believing that these will aid in bringing the subject nearer to the comprehension of foreign readers should any of my allusions to religious subjects and to religious workers be thought slighting i trust my attitude towards christianity itself will not be questioned it is with ecclesiastical methods and with the forms which obscure the teachings of christ and not with the teachings themselves that i have little sympathy i believe in the religion taught by him and handed down to us in the new testament as well as in the law written in the heart further i believe that god hath made a testament which may be called old with every people and nation genteel or jew christian or heathen as to the rest of my theology i need not impose upon the patience of the public in concluding this preface i wish to express my thanks to my friend anna c hartshorn for many valuable suggestions and for the characteristically japanese design made by her for the cover of this book in a malvern pennsylvania twelve months eighteen ninety nine preface to the tenth and revised edition since its first publication in philadelphia more than six years ago this little book has had an unexpected history the japanese reprint has passed through eight editions the present thus being its tenth appearance in the english language simultaneously with this will be issued an american and english edition through the publishing house of messrs george h putnam's sons of new york In the meantime, Bushido has been translated into Marathi by Mr. Dev of Kandesh, into German by Fräulein Kaufmann of Hamburg, into Bohemian by Mr. Hora of Chicago, into Polish by the Society of Science and Life in Lemberg, although this Polish edition has been censored by the Russian government.

It is now being rendered into Norwegian and into French.

A Chinese translation is under contemplation.

[laughs]

This is not Malvern.

My-

I've seen Malvern.

It's a piece of shit.

[laughs]

Uh, Melissa DiCranian, uh, is with us.

She's running against se- State Senator Muth in a district she told me that, think of places like Malvern and Route 30, that district, which is in the center of a lot of the action.

Melissa, welcome in and thanks, uh, on YouTube, for the lavender.

You're welcome.

Municipalities have been making those decisions.

But data centers are, are too big and too large coming in.

We've had a data center, a healthcare data center in Malvern in the, in the corporate district for over 30 years-

Mm

I originally started probably 10 years ago with a self- a self-defense gym, and then I actually have two of them.

So one is in Wilmington, Delaware, and then the other one is in Malvern, PA, which is, like, right outside of Philadelphia.

And I was telling them before we got started that, you know, I didn't know what I was doing, but I literally just got an LLC and went and opened a business.

Did I make some mistakes? Sure did.
