Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of China and India, Pictorial and Descriptive The Chinese are believed to have been, from very remote times, fond of reading and literary pursuits; yet, as far as our present information extends, they do not appear to possess any regular authentic history of the early state of their ancient empire. From the earliest times, it seems to have been the policy of this singular people to keep themselves distinct from the rest of mankind, to subsist on their own abundant resources, and to bar their country against the ingress of other nations.

Download or read book The Chinese Empire Vol 1 written by Thomas Allom and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese Empire, Vol. 1: Historical and Descriptive, Illustrating the Manners and Customs of the Chinese, in a Series of Steel Engravings, From Original Sketches This Work has been produced with a View to illustrate, by means of Steel Engravings and descriptive letterpress, the manners and customs, arts, sciences, and antiquities of the Chinese empirez China is a peculiar country, and its inhabitants are a peculiar people - perhaps the most peculiar people on the face of the earth. Though possessing many claims to our attention, and these claims being continually added to by the ever-increasing intercourse between that country and other nations, their habits and surroundings have never yet been adequately brought under the notice of the public. The series of Engravings with which this book is illustrated will, it is believed, do much to supply this deficiency. They have been engraved from drawings taken on the spot, and may be relied on, in every case, as depicting, with truth and accuracy, the scenes they represent. Aided by the accompanying descriptions, it will be found that a better and truer notion of things Chinese is here embodied than can elsewhere be gained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Chinese History The present book was written for two classes of Chinese. 'to those who are studying English, it is not so much an attempt to teach Chinese History by English as English through the medium of Chinese History. Certainly it will prove doubly interesting to read the facts of the history of one's own country in a foreign tongue which he is making an effort to learn. To those to whom Chinese History must otherwise remain unknown, it is hoped that the Out lines may induce them to seek further knowledge from the original sources. The recent events which are introducing a new epoch in China make a study of our ancient institutions doubly necessary.

Download or read book The Chinese Vol 3 of 3 written by John Francis Davis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese, Vol. 3 of 3: A General Description of China and Its Inhabitants Tana appear to be reasonable grounds for the belief, that what are justly considered in Europe as three of the most im rtant inventions or discoveries of mo dern times, e art of printing, the composition of gun powder, and the magnetic com ass, had their first origin in China. However muc we may have out stripped them in the use and application of these in strumenta or agents, the Chinese can urge claims to the priority of possession, which are sufficient to con vince any unprejudiced person; and it seems fair to conclude that the knowledge, or tradition of these contrivances travelled slowly westward through the channels of Oriental commerce, and were obscurely de rived, by those who first impprted them to Europe, by the way of Asia Minor or t e Red Sea. There can not be the least doubt of the art of printing having been practised in China during the tenth century of our era. The precise mode in which they operate is certainly different from ours; but the main rinciple, that of multiplying cheapening books y saving the time and labour of transcription, is altogether the same.
