It was his intention to have published them as soon as written, in the hope that the flattering winds, which favoured his first venture, The Land of the Dragon, might waft this slight craft on a successful voyage. As will be seen from the volume itself, he was full of the joy of living, and was always ready' when opportunity offered, to leave the monotony of official life and snatch a few weeks, or even days, in which to see new sights and meet with fresh experiences. He was always, on these occasions, the best of comrades, being uniformly cheerful and optimistic, and at all times full of resource, insight and charm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From China and Some Eastern Sketches The aim of "Letters from China" is to convey an impression of life in the Far East as it appeared to an individual for whom the serious side of any subject has never possessed so powerful an attraction as has its humorous aspect. I offer this explanation in the hope that it may be regarded, by indulgent readers, as a plea in extenuation of the book's many faults. The stories are mainly incidents within the actual experience of the writer, who has attempted to portray them in their own Oriental colouring rather than by means of precisive literary expression.

Download or read book The Far Eastern Tropics Classic Reprint written by Alleyne Ireland and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Far Eastern Tropics In 1901 was appointed Colonial Commissioner of the University of Chicago for the purpose of visiting the Far East and preparing a comprehensive report on colonial administration in Southeastern Asia. The report is now in course of preparation and will be issued in ten or twelve volumes by Messrs. Small, Maynard & Co., Cambridge, Mass., during the nest four years. The present volume is made up of two series of articles written during my absence in the Far East. One series appeared in "The Times" (London), the other in "The Outlook" (New York); and they make, in the form in which they are now issued, a group of studies, on various phases of British, American, French, and Dutch colonial administration and policy. Of the limitations of these studies no one can be more conscious than myself; but I am not without hope that, in the great scarcity of books in the English language on the subject of comparative colonization, students of political science may discover in them something of interest.
