"Of all the commercial missions to which the immediate prospect of the development of the resources of China by modern methods has recently given rise, the most fully equipped and that with the most extensive and elaborate programme is that organized by the Chamber of Commerce of Lyons, and the report published by the director of this mission, Mr. Henri Brenier, is of corresponding interest and value."
Bretschneider, E. History of European botanical discoveries in China.
London: S. Low, Marston & co., 1898. 2 vols. 4o.
"Dr. Bretschneider's present magnum opus is by no means a mere botanical work, as its name would seem to imply, but also a magnificent political and geographical record of all that Europeans have ever done in China from Marco Polo down to Mr. G. M. H. Playfair, and there is hardly any subject connected with the Far East but what accurate light is shed upon it by the dates, data, itineraries, geographical and biographical details, commercial notes, and other information furnished by the industrious and scrupulously painstaking author, than whom there is no one in the sinological field more worthy of absolute confidence."
