Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Heroes of Cathay, an Autobiography and a Sketch Were the story of Mr. K'ung's boyhood days given as fully as is Mr. Fay's, we should have a strongly contrasting picture, one of life in a wealthy, aristocratic family. For him there was less of peril and adventure, less of external loss, in that sad, last year of the century, but the sympathetic heart will catch the deep pathos of this tragedy of the inner life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mey Wing: A Romance of Cathay The house of Chao Ju's father was built of adobe, and thatched with straw. The floor was of mud, dried and hardened by tramping of many feet, but it was swept carefully, and looked clean. The baby's cradle was an old tub, and an old cotton comfort was his bed; the old sweet light was in his eye, and his smile, and the old charm which has ever lingered about babies, held those around his tub just as it holds those who gather around costly cradles and silken curtains, and to him also.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Makers of Cathay China has for centuries been a sealed country, and the part she has played in the history of the world has never been recognised by Europeans. Now that the East and West have drawn so much nearer together, it is seen that in that Empire movements have taken place which have considerably affected the other nations of the earth, and men have lived who deserve a place in the record of the world's great ones. Owing to the policy of seclusion that has characterised the Chinese nation, little has become known of the great characters of her history, and they have been denied the world-wide fame that ought to have been theirs. We are acquainted with the lives of men who in other countries and in other ages have proved their title to the world's homage, and the question of nationality is lost sight of in the consciousness that these men belong to us all; they are the elite of humanity. Who does not know something of Alexander the Great or Julius Cæsar, of Charlemagne or Luther? But who amongst ordinary readers knows anything of Chin Shih Huang Ti or Kublai Khan, of Tai Tsung or Mencius? And yet these latter names are worthy of a place beside the former. Much has been written in recent years about China, but it has chiefly been descriptive of the country and its inhabitants, their curious customs and institutions. A few books have been written in which the Chinese character has been analysed and judged, and through these a better knowledge of the people has been obtained. Histories of the country have also been published, but being for the most part bulky volumes, have only reached those who were specially concerned in the political, commercial, or religious interests of the Chinese nation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ping-Kua: A Girl of Cathay IF you go by wheelbarrow or mule-litter across country from the Grand Canal of China at chi-ning to the city of N ing-yang, as you draw near to the Old willows by the moat you will see the corner and south side of the city wall, gray in the evening light. Following the road around to the west you cross the moat on a stone bridge and enter the city through a great arched gateway in the wall. Note the huge iron-clad gates. They Open in the middle and swing back against the wall each morning and swing out every night when the drum calls, meeting in the middle, where they are securely fastened by strong bars of wood which reach away across, with their ends fixed in holes at either side of the arch. Just inside that massive gateway, one morning about twenty years ago, a baby was born. The mother had climbed to the very top of tai-shan where the Goddess Of Babies has her temple, knocked her head many times before her shrine and, while clouds of incense smoke ascended, hadprayed most earnestly for a son. Then, stealing one of the boy-baby images from the shrine, she had carried it home and cared for it as if it were a real baby, believing the goddess would be pleased and answer her prayer. The whole family had hoped for a son, for girls are not counted as chil dren in Chinese heathen homes. It was because of all this that the faces of grandmother and mother-in-law were dark with frowns and the mother wailed, Wo-pu-yao-ti hsia-jen, which being interpreted means, I don't want a slave. The baby was a girl. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mercedes of Castile, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the Voyage to Cathay So much has been written of late years, touching the discovery of America, that it would not be at all surprising should there exist a disposition in a certain class of readers to deny the accuracy of all the statements in this work. Some may refer to history, with a view to prove that there never were such persons as our hero and heroine, and fancy that by establishing these facts, they completely destroy the authenticity of the whole book. In answer to this anticipated objection, we will state, that after carefully perusing several of the Spanish writers, from Cervantes to the translator of the journal of Columbus, the Alpha and Omega of peninsular literature, and after having read both Irving and Prescott from beginning to end, we do not find a syllable in either of them, that we understand to be conclusive evidence, or indeed to be any evidence at all, on the portions of our subject that are likely to be disputed. Until some solid affirmative proof, therefore, can be produced against us, we shall hold our case to be made out, and rest our claims to be believed on the authority of our own statements.
