The style of the author is most delightful, and in the purely memoir part he leads the reader into an understanding and an appreciation of the court life at Peking, and one cannot help feeling with him deep regret that the community of diplomats there is no more. His statement of the inner life and Spirit and aspirations of the Chinese people will be found most sympathetic and accurate.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from China, Vol. 10: Its History, Arts and Literature an Its History Arts Grounds are to be seen, in which respect China offers a marked contrast to the neighbouring Empire of Japan. Moreover, profound as is the reverential love of the Chinese for the spirits of deceased relatives, cemeteries are not allowed to encroach unduly upon arable areas. The space allotted for graves is probably as extensive as that assigned for the purpose in any country, but it is selected on economical principles, - that is to say, in spots uninviting for culture, - and when, as is not uncommon, the tomb or burial mound stands in the ancestral field, crops are grown up to its very enclosure.1 Further, in many parts of the Empire the land produces two crops annually, and in the loess region of the northwest a three fold return is looked for by the farmer. Esti mates believed to be conservative put the districts that give a double yield at twenty-five per cent of the total arable land; and on that hypothesis the crop-producing area would be some five hun dred million acres, or nearly one and one fourth acres per head of population.2 Considering that in the neighbouring Empire of japan, where the manner of life is very similar, the ratio does not exceed one-half of an acre per head, it is evi dent that if the above estimates be correct, China could support a much greater population than she has at present.
