Book excerpt: Victorian traveler Constance Gordon-Cumming roamed far and wide, from the Scottish Highlands to the American West, the islands of Hawaii to southern China. Her trip to Hong Kong was momentous: she arrived just before Christmas 1878 to inadvertently witness the terrible "Great Fire". She moved on to explore the streets, temples and Chinese New Year festivities in Guangzhou. She is that rare travel writer who, while plunging into the crowds, manages to observe the minutiae of life around her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings in China You will wonder when you receive this letter posted in Hong-Kong, where I hope to arrive to-morrow! It is not that my four months in Japan have by any means exhausted its fascination, - on the contrary, I purpose returning there in spring, when the double cherry-blossoms are in their glory; but meanwhile the hills are white with snow, and I have been nearly frozen, living in paper houses, without fires - only such warmth as we could extract from ornamental little charcoal braziers. So I have fled southward with the swallows, and sailed from Nagasaki, intending to spend Christmas at Shanghai. There, however, I only stayed three days, for the horrid river of yellow mud and the hideousness of the flat country round, and, above all, notwithstanding the genuine kindness of several residents, the oppressive dreariness of finding myself alone in a great doll hotel, where there was not a creature to be seen except Chinese servants, depressed me to such a pitch, that I resolved to risk spending Christmas-day at sea rather than remain there.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Years' Wanderings in the Northern Provinces of China: Including a Visit to the Tea, Silk, and Cotton Countries, With an Account of the Agriculture and Horticulture of the Chinese, New Plants, Etc The Author has been much gratified with the favourable manner in which the first edition of his work has been received by the public. It has been suggested by his friends, that it would be desirable in a new edition to enter more fully into the subject of Tea. He has therefore given some statistical information, tending to show the quantity of this production which is consumed by the Chinese themselves, as well as what they could spare for the European market, in the event of a greater demand arising from the reduction of tea duties. Attention has also been directed to our dominions in the north-west of India, which seem to possess all the requisites of a tea country. These, and some other additions which have been made to the work, will, it is hoped, render it more interesting.
