A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is intended to portray the present state of the Chinese Empire, with such record of the past as will show by what process of evolution the existing state has been reached. No attempt is made to forecast the future, or even to refer to the revolution which, under the name of Reform, has been begun. The development of many centuries is to be recast, and within a year or a generation, according as the pace is forced or not, it will assume an unaccustomed garb; and the China of that future day, near or distant, will not be the China of to-day. Whether this revolution will follow the precedent of theE nglish Revolution or of the French, whether it will proceed by logical development from step to step, or will rush on a lieadlong course, will depend upon the wisdom and selfxestraint of the leaders in the government, and in the last xesort upon the nature of that public opinion which will be created in the Chinese people. But, just as the history of theE ngland of the Georges cannot be well understood without some knowledge of theS tuart period, and as an acquaintance with the France of the Kingdom and theE mpire is necessary to a comprehension of the France of the Third Republic, so also, to imderstand the China which the student of the future will know, he must be able to study its past. The China of to-day is, with minor differences, the China of the past; and in this book it is hoped that the future student will find, within the limits of the dozen subjects treated, a succinct account of the foundation on which the China of the future will be erected.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
