Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trading With the Far East The terms "Asia" and "Europe," applied by the Phoenicians and later by the Greeks to the sections occupying respectively the areas at the east and the west, were intended only as general designations for those respective sections; but have been retained as their permanent geographic names, while the general title now given by geographers to the Great Continent comprising both Europe and Asia is "Eurasia." Its area, combining the two sections which we call Europe and Asia, is 21,000,000 square miles, or 40% of the land surface of the world, and its population 1,350,000,000, or 75% of that of the entire globe. The boundary between Asia and Europe as generally accepted by geographers is the Ural Mountains and River, at the north, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea, and the Dardanelles. Interior Sparsely Settled The interior of the Asiatic continent, lying behind the narrow and densely populated coastal region running along the Indian and Pacific oceans, consists of deserts and semi-deserts in the central part, frozen tundras at the extreme north, and at the south great mountain ranges whose enormous areas and extreme altitude have given to a certain section thereof the title of "The Roof of the World." This great interior, which lies at an average level of about 15,000 feet above the sea, receives little moisture from the oceans, and is at the best but sparsely populated, Mongolia averaging little more than one person per square mile, Chinese Turkestan two per square mile, Siberia two per square mile, and Tibet four per square mile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trade and Travel in the Far East: Or Recollections of Twenty-One Years Passed in Java, Singapore, Australia, and China My wanderings have been neither few nor short, and, perhaps, verify the old proverb, that a rolling stone gathers no moss. I have crossed the Ocean in forty different square-rigged vessels; have trod the plains of Hindostan, the wilds of Sumatra, and the mountains of Java; have strolled among the beauti ful hills and dales of Singapore and Penang; have had many a ga110p amid the forests and plains of Aus tralia; have passed through the labyrinth of reefs forming Torres Straits; and have visited the far famed Celestial Empire. My first idea, in endeavour ing to retrace my journeyings and adventures, was, that the personal narrative might serve to amuse a circle of private friends. But the notices relating to the Openings for Trade in the Far East, and to the subject of Emigration, together with the free stric tures upon the causes of the recent depress1on in our Australian colonies, will, I venture to hope, be not unacceptable to those who are interested in the exten sion of British commerce, and in the well-being of the rising communities which form an integral part of the mighty Empire now encircling the Globe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trading With Asia It is of vital importance to the continued prosperity of the United States that new markets be developed to replace those of the countries with whom we formerly traded but whose effective buying capacity has been reduced by the consequences of war. American manufacturers must export greater quantities of their products than at present in order to keep running at full capacity the plants which have been enlarged to meet the demands of the last seven years and to continue to employ all American workmen at wages that will enable them to maintain unimpaired the American standard of living of which we are so justly proud. The Far East offers the great possibilities of an unexploited field, especially as the souls of China and India alone are rapidly developing industrially already need large quantities of American machines and metal goods of various types, and accept readily the prod ucts of American inventive genius and technical skill.

Download or read book Within the Gateways of the Far East Classic Reprint written by Charles Rosenbury Erdman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Within the Gateways of the Far East Diminishing number of persons who have distinguished themselves by never visiting the Orient. These pages were prepared more particularly for the perusal of personal friends and they may be regarded as an apology for an extended absence from home. They do not form an absolutely complete compendium of routes, distances, areas, populations, rainfalls, products, languages, customs, vital statistics of Lama priests, and similar informing items which fill more important and conventional books of travel. The omission of any such details is due to the cruel limitations of space imposed by the high cost of printing. Compensation is offered in the original and profound observations made by the author, whose ignorance of geography, history, science, and religion enables him to write with such abandon and assurance as characterize all who have spent a few days in the Far East. The value of the volume will ever remain a matter of personal opinion, to which those who. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Far East: Its History and Its Question The aim of the present volume is to afi'ord in handy form a complete account of the history of the countries of the Far East, in so far as they have come into contact with Western civilisation. In carrying out this scheme, I have not deemed it necessary to dwell upon ancient history, beyond indicating the events which have served to bring the Occident and Orient together. I commence with an account of the earlier phases of Eastern Asia, sufficient to en able the reader to appreciate the conditions under which the Pacific borderland was first visited by the emissaries of Europe. From this point I have followed the story of the Far East in some detail, in the hope that the record thus presented may answer the requirements of the poli tical student who seeks to obtain a clear understanding of the problems involved.

Later, strikes on the rail ways, in the post and telegraph services, and among the sailors and engineers of the steamship companies, accompanied by continued disorders, paralysed the trade of Southern Russia.

The Govern ment soldiers, called Imperialists, had closely invested the city on all sides except the Foreign Settlement, which the Treaty Consuls would not suffer them to occupy, and, as supplies of food and munitions continued to reach the rebels through this unguard'ed channel, this naturally created unpleasant relations between the native soldiery and foreigners.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trade and Travel in the Far East: Or Recollections of Twenty-One Years Passed in Java, Singapore, Australia, and China The following pages were written to beguile the tediousness of a long voyage from Hong Kong to England, during the spring and summer of 1844. When I state, that the whole was written with the paper on my knee, for want of a desk, amid continual interruptions from three young children lacking amusement during their long confinement on shipboard, and with a perpetual liability to be pitched to leeward, paper and all, - I shall have said enough to bespeak from every good-natured reader a candid allowance for whatever defects may attach to the composition. It is necessary, however, that I should also premise, that the sketches are drawn entirely from memory, and that the incidents referred to in the earlier chapters, took place some twenty years ago.

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 The Re-Shaping of the Far East, Vol. 1 The kind reception accorded by both the English and American Press and public to a first book dealing exhaustively with the Russians in Manchuria, and exposing the true position of the Northern Colossus in the coveted Chinese provinces, has made me suppose that a second work treating the whole Far East in the same intimate manner may likewise do something towards correcting the many erroneous impressions which are fast growing up as one of the immediate results of the war. This second volume is, therefore, in many respects a sequel to the first, and deals mainly with the Northern Far East - that is, the territories lying north of the Yangtsze. The whole story of the past decade in China, Manchuria, Korea, and Japan has been a most curious one, and the manner in which all these countries have become entangled with one another and with rival European nations is probably without parallel in the world's history.

Download or read book Europe and the Far East 1506 1912 Classic Reprint written by Robert K. Douglas and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe and the Far East, 1506-1912 The aim of this series is to sketch the history of Modem Europe with that of its chief colonies and conquests from about the end of the fifteenth century down to the present time. In one or two cases the story commences at an earlier date: in the case of the colonies it generally begins later. The histories of the different countries are described, as a rule, separately; for it is believed that, except in epochs like that of the French Revolution and Napoleon, the connection of events will thus be better understood and the continuity of historical development more clearly displayed. The series is intended for the use of all persons anxious to understand the nature of existing political conditions. The roots of the present lie deep in the past; and the real significance of contemporary events cannot be grasped unless the historical causes which have led to them are known. The plan adopted makes it possible to treat the history of the last four centuries in considerable detail, and to embody the most important results of modern research. It is hoped therefore that the series will be useful not only to beginners but to students who have already acquired some general knowledge of European History. For those who wish to carry their studies further, the bibliography appended to each volume will act as a guide to original sources of information and works more detailed and authoritative. Considerable attention is paid to political geography; and each volume is furnished with such maps and plans as may be requisite for the illustration of the text.
