“This volume is very readable, sketching the Chinese and their ways in a correct yet lively manner, and containing many judicious extracts and observations on such general subjects as the character and religion of the Chinese.”—Hong-Kong China Mail, April 25.
“Mr. Scarth’s little work will modify the opinions of many among its readers concerning the Chinese Empire. Even for those who have as yet committed themselves to no definite opinions and felt no special interest in regard to the Flowery Land, it is a volume which will repay perusal. It is written from a new point of view, and in a new spirit; and the Chinese question is one with at least two sides. The point of view may be fixed in a few words by saying that a ’British Resident’ of twelve years in China is not a British official.”—Saturday Review, May 5.
