Présentation de l'éditeur
The present book was written to meet the special wants of a new and rapidly increasing class of students in theE ast. A monothe Western studies which are being introduced into the schools of China, historywill always hold an important place. It is only through a study of general history, and especially of Western history, that anE astern student can learn to understand the place of his own country among the nations of the world. The new movement towards constitutional government makes a study of Western institutions doubly necessary. While there is no lack of admirable text-books on general history, there is yet not one among them which fills the requirements of the average Eastern student. He is usually a mature young man, who has passed through a course of training in the language and literature of his own country. He does not want a text-book for schoolboys. On the other hand, he is nearly always a beginner in English. Involved sentences, high-flown metaphors, allusions toG reek mythology or to Bible passages, are all stumbling blocks which may at times prove insurmountable even for the native teacher.
