Description

Excerpt from Waifs and Strays From the Far East: Being a Series of Disconnected Essays on Matters Relating to China The following chapters are intended for English readers whose knowledge of Chinese matters bears an inverse ratio to the interest they take in the subject. No claim is made to origina lity or profound research. But at a time when all questions re lating to China have, or should have, some attraction for those who have never visited that country, it may be permitted to an obscure writer to add his quota, however humble, to the stock of general information; and the present volume will, it is hoped, shed some additional light upon certain points which have not, hitherto, been brought prominently before the reading public. In such a work, there cannot but be many shortcomings but its aim is, as far as possible, to combine an unavoidable superficiality with lucidity and distinctness, and its best apo logy is to be found in the Chinese motto upon the cover.
