DAILY NEWS.—“The book is to be recommended as a lively and vivid account of Chinese life and character. With its sketches of scenes and persons wherewith the entire world is now concerned, ‘China, the Long-lived Empire’ appears at an opportune moment. It contains a large number of good illustrations.”
DAILY CHRONICLE.—“Miss Scidmore unites to the keen and sympathetic observation of a travelled woman the judicial mind of a veteran judge. This is high praise, we know, but nobody who has studied China and reads this book will think it exaggerated.”
ST. JAMES’S GAZETTE.—“Her book is certain to be widely read, and it is deserving of study in all respects. The portraits and other illustrations are extremely interesting.”
