Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wandering in Northern China At home there are numbers of young men, five or ten years out of college, who can tell you just what is the matter with the world, and exactly how to remedy it. I am more or less ready to agree with them that the world is going to the dogs. What of it? You have only to step outdoors on any clear night to see that there are hundreds of other worlds, which may be arranging their lives in a more intelligent manner. The most striking thing about these young political and sociological geniuses sitting in their suburban gardens or their city flats is that while they can toss off a recipe guaranteed to cure our own sick world overnight, if only some one can get it down its throat, they seldom seem to have influence enough in their own cozy little corner of it to drive out one grafting ward-heeler. In other words, if you must know what is to be the future of China, I regret that I have not been vouchsafed the gift of prophecy and cannot tell you. In the minor matter of Chinese words and names, I have deliberately not tried to follow the usual Romanization, but rather to cause the reader to pronounce them as nearly like what they are on the spot as is possible with our mere twenty-six letters. Of course I could not follow this rule entirely or I must have called the capital of China Bay-jing, have spoken of the evacuation of Shahn - doong, and so on; so that in the case of names already more or less familiar to the West I have used the most modern and most widely accepted forms, as they have survived on the ground. At that I cannot imagine what ailed the men who Romanized the Chinese language, but that is another story.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among the Sons of Han: Notes of Six Years' Residence in Various Parts of China and Formosa Treatises on the same subject, and that thus the notes might be the humble means of contributing, however slightly, to a better knowledge of China and the Chinese. Two or three of the short sketches have already appeared anonymously in a Shanghai news paper, and a few others formed the substance of an article in a recent number of Tinsleys' Magazine. For the information of those who are not sufficiently familiar with Chinese topics, it may be advisable to explain, with reference to the title of this book, that, as the Han dynasty, b.c. 202 to a.d. 221 - contemporaneous with so much that is memorable in Western annals - was one of the most glorious epochs in Chinese history, so amongst the various designations applied to Chinamen at the present day, the most flattering and the most honourable, the synonym of all that is brave and good, is the popular term Han izz'i, or Son of Han. The accompanying map shows at a glance the extent of our wanderings in China, and the various places - some of them but little known to Europeans - visited by us and described in the following.

But the questions arising are both diverse and unexpected, while the general problems coming up for solution are SO complex and SO grave that even personal knowledge becomes obsolete, and it is impossible for the most earnest student of news papers and books to follow intelligently the progress of events without frequently renewing and extending his studies from the life.
