This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China and the Chinese, a General Description of the Country and Its Inhabitants: Its Civilization and Form of Government; Its Religious and Social Institutions; Its Intercourse With Other Nations; And Its Present Condition and Prospects The erroneous views which we mutually entertain of each other are due to a want of reliable information; and this want has resulted from our wide separation, and our infrequent and imperfect intercourse. Now that China - which we have heretofore thought of as situated in the extreme East, and shut off from us by the intervening nations of Europe and Asia - has become our next neighbor on the West, it is very important that we become better acquainted with its inhabitants, and that we and they should cultivate that mutual respect and sym pathy which ought to characterize two great nations whose interests and destinies are in the future to be so closely united. To promote this desirable end is the principal object of this book; and if it should in any good degree subserve so important a purpose it will require no apology for its publication.
