Book excerpt: Excerpt from China England But while this gloomy picture of the state of affairs might have been partly true of China in the time past, it is no longer true now. The sick man is rapidly convalescent, the sleeping lion is awake, and the hoary and tottery empire has had new blood injected into her system. China is moving and she is moving with a rapidity difficult for one who has not personally witnessed the wonderful changes to understand and realise. Repeated defeats at the hands of the foreign Powers soon convinced our people of the futility of matching bows and arrows against modern guns and explosives, whilst our wooden junks went down before the onslaught of armoured cruisers and battleships like wheat before the scythe. For several years there was loud and threatening talk of doing violence to the integrity of the empire, and one actually appeared under the ominous work and unfortunate title of "The break-up of China." No sooner did books and newspapers containing discussions of this subject appear than they were translated into our language, and the wild rumours of impending violence filled the minds of the people with indignation and alarm, impelling them at, one may say, the point of the bayonet to devise ways and means whereby national danger might be averted. Proofs of incidents were not lacking to warn our people that all were not brothers within four seas. The rising of the 20th century ushered in the New China, beaming and teeming in the prime of its vigour, though sometimes tempered by the over-enthusiasm of its juvenile spirit. As we know that we are in need of new knowledge badly, batches of young men have been sent abroad for such scientific education. Many of them devoted a large part of their time to the editing of magazines and the translation of books, a veritable flood of literature thus pouring back to their fatherland, and reaching every nook and corner of the empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How England Saved China In saying this they fail to recognize how much the England of to-day owes to the missionaries who brought Christianity to it, when it was barbarous and uncivilized. Neither have they read the history of other lands and marked how some of them have been elevated by English missionaries, and how the English flag is looked upon as the symbol of freedom and justice, in a large measure through the heroic services of her sons. If Africa could speak today, she would declare that the horrors of the past have been swept away through the devotion of Living stone, one oi the most distinguished of English missionaries, who gave his life for that dark continent. That many Christian men and members of Churches should speak in the same strain is still more distressing. The command of Christ, clear.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin and Progress of the War Between England and China: A Lecture Taught as American citizens are, that man is endowed with the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; hav ing early learned, as we have, the lesson that it is the first duty of all governments to permit to each the pursuit of his own happiness in his own way, without intrusion from or molestation to others, we, cannot but regard the conduct of the Chinese Empire toward the other members of the great family of nations, as governed by a kin dred spirit. While other dynasties have arisen and flourished and fell, while other nations have with varied speed passed through the alternations of youth, manhood, and age, the adherence of the Chinese to this great principle, which is thus buried deep in the foundation of our prosperity, has caused century after centu ry to rise upon their empire, flourishing in vigorous activity. In an hour, which may yet be, if it be not already, fraught with immense evil to them, the Chinese so far relaxed from their exclu sive policy as to permit a foreign trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British in China: And Far Eastern Trade This book has been written in the hope of interesting the British and the Chinese in the development of the vast natural resources of China. It was commenced in the early days of the war; many Of the ideas set forth were thought out during the long night-watches on searchlight duty. Notes for the book have been jotted down in queer places and in various countries. Some were made on steamers off the China coast; others in a sedan chair in a Chinese city; one was written in the Forbidden City in Peking; and yet another in a Chinese gaming-house at Canton. A few are survivals of pre - war journeys in Siberia, the United States, and Canada. One was put down in Egypt, others in Europe, but the book was written in hong-kong. The self-imposed task has given me more pleasure than any other piece of work, not excluding scientific research, which I have been able to finish. In times of disappointment, after my day's work was over, there was always encouragement in the wonderful story of men of my own race in China, and I have turned to the task now ended for relief during those long absences from home life which are inevitable for those of us who live in the Far East. Perhaps the chief stimulus was the desire to record some facts which I want my three boys, now at school in England, to appreciate. For they spent with me many happy hours of their young lives in China, and I hope that some day they will be ready and eager to maintain the best traditions of their race. There have been, as always, difficulties. First of all, there was the groping for the desired information and finally the less exciting, indeed the distressing, duty of eliminating much of it. For in its original form the book was at least twice the Size of this volume; but it became Obvious, even to the author, that neither a sympathetic reader nor a kindly publisher could maintain an interest in such a long story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England's Policy in China Our 'position towards China is not entirely new, but the gravity of it is now being realised for the first the. England has more reason than Napoleon had in Egypt to remind her soldiers and her politicians in the Flowery Land that they are in the presence of Forty Centuries. His Forty Centuries looked down from Memnon's statue, from pyramid and obelisk and sculptured tomb, over great sandy wastes, and on a scanty degraded population long accustomed to the persuasion of the stick; but on the Expeditionary Force to China the Forty Centuries which look down are no ghost of a dead Past, but a vast nation, a polity, a mode of thought and modes of life, which have beheld the birth of authentic history, and, having survived the vicissitudes of four thousand years, are still hale and strong though they have lost the fire of youth. 'we have not to do with a country thinly peopled by savage tribes, which must yield their hunting grounds to the expanding populations of Bumpe. It is not a mouldering corpse or a sick man before which we now stand, but a great and grave nation sufi'ering chiefly from the wounds which we 'have ourselves wantonly inflicted. It is a nation with arts and sciences which content its wants; with a literature unequalled in the depth of its practical wisdom with a state of society more homogeneous and th oroughly organised than any other existing on the globe; with education generally diffused; with material benefits richly ahareii by the labouring classes with a population which numbers more than a third of the human race, and which neither desires our interference nor refuses to accept our commerce.

Knowledge of foreign countries, even those with which we have constant communication and important interests, is not so general as it ought to be, and comparatively few persons in England comprehend how closely this country is touched by any occurrence that might lead to estrangement or rupture between England and China.
