The book was written just before the Russo-Japanese war. It is the detailed account of a journey through Manchuria with the avowed object of showing the character of the Russian occupation. It attracted attention at the time for its interest, and later for its accurate forecasts of events.

The Atlantic Monthly's reviewer, Mr. John W. Foster, found this "one of the most readable and valuable books which have appeared in recent years. . . . An official of the Chinese foreign customs service gives the result of his manifestly careful study of Chinese history, and his observations during residence and extensive travels through Central and Northern China, Japan, and Korea. The greater part of the work is in the narrative style, with the charm and piquancy which made his 'Manchu and Muscovite' so popular."
"A remarkably searching, analytical, clear, and comprehensive presentation of a complicated and perplexing situation."—New York Tribune.
