Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinaman as We See Him Now that we have moved our borders across the Pacific, the Chinese are more than ever coming into View; and certainly we ought to seek to be better acquainted with a people who have become our near neighbors. 'we are more than ever concerned in the vast possibilities, the material development, and moral characteristics of this ancient people, who are destined to occupy such a prominent place in the world's life. The corruptions of China, of which we hear so much, are largely confined to the ruling classes. The people themselves are a healthy, vigorous, virile race, who will undoubtedly grow in power and develop qualities of national life which the world will be compelled to respect and admire.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from As a Chinaman Saw Us: Passages From His Letters to a Friend at Home It will be difficult for the average American to conceive it possible that a cultivated Chinaman, of all persons, should have been honestly amused at our civilization; that he should have consid ered what Mrs. Trollope called our great experiment in republics a failure, and our institutions, fashions, literary methods, customs and manners, sports and pastimes as legitimate fields for wit and unrepressed jollity. Yet in the nu bosoming of this cultivated heathen we see our fads and foibles held up as strange gods, and must confess some of them to be grotesque when seen in this yellow light.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinaman: In His Own Stories At Chinese life through Chinese fiction. In plot the stories are primitive and puerile, and the translator has sometimes doubted whether it was worth while to print them. Chinese names always ruin a Chinese story for the average reader, and yet to give English equivalents is to destroy the piquancy of the narrative, and load it with an insufferable burden of grandiose Johnsonese. In some cases, where it has been pos sible, the English equivalents of the names have been given, and in other cases the Chinese forms of the names are retained. Over against the simplicity and feebleness of the ruling plots and motives of the tales must be set the fact that they contain a very percep.
