Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's History, Vol. 2: A Survey of Man's Record; Oceania, Eastern Asia, and the Indian Ocean Thus all non-european or foreign regions have been treated in a manner commensurate with their importance. In the preface to our third volume we have already insisted on the vast importance of Oriental history, a branch of learning hitherto strangely neglected and disparaged. In View of the rarity of authorities to whom we can appeal for corroboration in this connection, it will not be out of place to quote the words with which Gustav strakosch-grassmann prefaced his valuable work on The Irruption of the Mongolians into Central Europe in 1241 and published in the spring of 1893. He justly observes that a fuller knowledge will only be made possible by more strenuous study of the Oriental historical writings, in which lie buried so many precious contributions to the history of mediaeval Europe. A systematic examination of Oriental records would yield a harvest of new information to the student of history, in details hitherto neglected, bearin g upon the relations between Oriental and European nations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Awakening of Asia This book has been held up by the Censor for more than two years. From my own standpoint, this has turned out to be an advantage, so far as its prospect of usefulness goes. Now, more than ever before, Europeans and Americans are prepared to consider the relations of the white races to Asiatics as demanding very careful study. That Japan should be fully repre sented at the Peace Conference, as one of the Great Powers of the world, and that China and India, with their joint population of some people, should claim the right to make themselves heard at the same gathering of the nations, are events which cannot be overlooked. Asia, indeed, seems destined to play a still greater part in the future than she has played in the past. It is important, therefore, for the English-speaking peoples, to whom I primarily address myself, that they should recognise this at once. Self determination and justice for all races cannot be confined to Europe or America. When first I began my serious studies of the influence of the white man on the Far East, I was of the opinion that this influence had been almost wholly beneficial. The fact that close relations of my own had been connected with Eastern affairs for several generations naturally strengthened me in this view.

This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Asiatic History The physical features of Asia are very striking. It presents every variety of climate, from the dreary confines of the polar world to the heart of the tropical regions. Its rivers yield in magnitude only to those Of the Western Continent; its towering mountains sur pass all others in elevation; its immense salt lakes, or inland seas, its wide deserts, its extensive plains, are among its distinguishing features. The natural productions of Asia are not less striking than its geographical features. It abounds in the rich est minerals, and yields every variety Of precious gem. The vegetable kingdom presents us with the choicest fruits and flowers, with costly gums and fragrant spices. Nor is the animal kingdom less remarkable and diversified. From this region we have derived the horse, the peacock, the pheasant, and our ham-door fowls. Every thing in Asia seems to have been formed on a scale of magnificence and profusion, in which all that is grand is blended with all that is beautiful.

Download or read book The Rise of American Influence in Asia and the Pacific Classic Reprint written by Lawrence Henry Battistini and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of American Influence in Asia and the Pacific The United States took its place as one Of the sovereign nations of the world with the conclusion of the Treaty Of Paris in 1783 which terminated the Revolutionary War. By the terms of that treaty the territorial extent of the United States was limited on the west by the Mississippi River. Actually, most of the region west of the Appalachian Mountains was still largely unsettled territory, and nearly all of the population, less than four million in 1790, was concentrated along the Atlantic seaboard. Hence the United States at that time faced eastward, and the Atlantic was the broad highway which linked it commercially and culturally to Europe. Asia and the islands of the Pacific comprised a remote world, which could only be reached by circuitous and time-consum ing voyages. TO Americans Of this period this world was almost as unknown as Darkest Africa. When the United States acquired its independence the economic system was largely an agrarian one which supplied nearly all of the people's agricultural wants and depended on Europe, prin cipally England, for manufactured goods. Since the United States was then practically without industries that required imported raw materials and overseas markets for their finished products, its trading requirements were largely confined to the exchange of its own raw materials for manufactured items. During the early years of the Republic's development about 90 percent of all trade was with England. Trade with the Far East arose primarily because Of the enter prise Of the-seafaring New Englanders rather than because of any compelling need in America for the products Of that area. In searching for new routes and ports of call, these hardy New Englanders were motivated by the hard reality that independence from England and dissociation from her Empire had closed to them the the old trade routes and markets on which they had formerly prospered, particularly the once lucrative trade with the British West Indies.1 China was one of the first Asian lands to lure the American traders. In the very year that Washington was inaugu rated as the first president Of the Republic, fifteen American vessels called at Canton to take on cargoes of tea and silk.2 The luxury cargoes of these vessels were typical Of the early American trade with Asia. They were small in bulk and commanded high prices, but at the same time they were highly speculative and com prised only a small part of the total foreign trade of the United States at that time.
