Présentation de l'éditeur
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.
The consequence is that, to the best of the writers knowledge, there is no work in English giving the student such a sketch of pre-Manchu times as will enable him to grasp the singular continuity of Chinese political and social life. It is too much for the writer to suppose that he has completely filled the gap, but it is hoped that he has made some such contribution as will bring home to many in our schools and colleges some part of the interest which lies behind the veil. It is impossible here to mention all the sources to which this book is indebted. Most of them will appear from the notes and from the attached bibliography. Special acknowledgment, however, should be made to the writings of Professor Hirth of Columbia, G.Pauthier, Abel Remusat, Chavannes, Legge, Williams, Giles, Mayers, Douglas and D.C.
