Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings in China Note earth-laden waters. - These Chinese rivers deposit such quantities of soil, that they are continually raising their chan nels higher and higher above the level of the surrounding plain; consequently it is not only necessary to construct stupendous embankments to keep the water-floods in their self-chosen beds, but also to continue ceaselessly raising and strengthening them. These cyclopean banks of mud, or of basket-work full of small boulders and faced with brick and stone, extend for hundreds of miles, and at some points are so high that to reach the summit one has to ascend sixty or seventy granite steps, above the level of the boundless plain, to find one's self standing on the brink of a swift mighty river, perhaps half a mile in width. Such banks have to be built so as to allow for the river's natural rise of fully 20 feet in the rainy season. It is evident that only by ceaseless vigilance can these enormous earthworks be kept in thorough repair, and Government officials are enjoined to bestow the utmost attention to this subject. Needful repairs are executed in winter and spring, when the waters are at the lowest, and enormous sums are thus expended even in ordinary years. But no amount of human care can always avail against the might of such a stream as the Great Yellow River, when, in autumn, it pours down from the mountains with about ten times its winter volume, flowing rapidly for a distance of about 2000 miles, its waters charged with sand and yellow earth, which it deposits all along its course, raising its bed and forming shallows, till at length the flood either overflows the channel or forces a passage through embankments, soddened by weeks of rain. Then follow appalling inundations, transforming whole counties into gigantic lakes, drown ing all living creatures, and covering the land with a deposit which, for one season at least, is fatal to all agriculture, and Often leaves great tracts transformed into feverish swamps.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Wandering Student, in the Far East, Vol. 1 of 2 On the other hand, volume ii. Is composed mainly of a series of essays upon subjects of more especial interest to those who are them selves personally interested, either directly or indirectly, in the development of Far Eastern affairs - the student, the politician, the fin ancier, the merchant, and the manufacturer. Of the thirteen chapters composing this volume, nine are devoted to a critical ex amination of Japan's place in the Far East. In such an examination narrative of travel finds but little place, the bulk of the space at my disposal being required for more serious discussion. The remaining four chapters chapters xix.-xxii. - are concerned with such matters as the present attitude of China towards Europe, and with the existing state of the commerce and communications (railways) of the Empire, some indication also being given as to their probable future development.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels and Adventures of an Officer's Wife in India, China, and New Zealand, Vol. 2 of 2 China; and it is strange that a lengthened inter course with Europeans should end in such a result. Before eight a.m., we were alongside the American steamer White Cloud, in our pull-away boat, amidst a throng of Chinese craft, hurrying cargo and celestial passengers into the steamer. Nothing but the great paddles of the powerful vessel could have shaken off the clinging swarm. Chinamen seem highly to appreciate this American line, which runs a boat both ways, each day, between Hong - Kong and Canton, always full of passengers and cargo. This steamer had lately arrived from New York, making the passage round the Cape in seventy-four days, her upper houses stowed away in her hold. The Chinese have proved to be dangerous passengers, some of the most atrocious acts of piracy having been committed on this voyage, the pirates entering as passengers, and seizing the vessel on the way. On leaving the harbour our course led through narrow channels, with bare hills rising steeply on each side. Fishing villages lay at the foot of the barren rocks, and numerous boats were busy at their avocations, with their lines over the side.
