This book embodies the results of wide travel in unfrequented parts of China, and much research in Chinese Buddhist literature. It contains historical and topographical accounts of some of the most famous religious centres in the empire. The author has lived as a guest in many of the monasteries and hermitages described, and has made himself intimately acquainted with their legendary and romantic as well as their religious and historical associations. He deals with the religious problems arising from the new political and social conditions and prospects brought about by the Revolution, and the book is therefore of special value to all who take an interest in the religious future of the Chinese people.

“A conscientious and painstaking record, supported by references to authorities throughout. Mr. Jourdan rightly calls attention to the two earliest decades of the sixteenth century, and shows competency to deal with the large accumulation of record and comment.... He commends his chosen worthies in their lives and activities, and, so doing, wins for himself the praise of quiet equity in judgment.”—The Times.
