“The author is implicit in it—‘his vaunts, his feats.’ He is often amusing. Mr Willoughby’s detachment is aloofness; from his Olympian height he scans the depths—or would if the depths were not shallows. His knowledge, however, does not come of patient observation, but from the study of the authorities.”

WILLOUGHBY, WESTEL WOODBURY. Foreign rights and interests in China. $6 Johns Hopkins 327
20–8714
“Professor Willoughby, of the Johns Hopkins university, served as legal adviser to the Chinese republic during the war. He has used his special knowledge to compile a statement of the rights conferred by treaties or agreements of an official character upon foreigners and foreign powers in China. As he says, the situation is ‘complicated in the extreme,’ for China permits all kinds of extra-territorial rights and suffers ‘spheres of interest, “special interests,” war zones, leased territories, treaty ports, concessions, settlements and legation quarters’ to infringe on her sovereignty, to say nothing of commercial concessions and revenue services under foreign control.”—Spec
“As a work of reference the volume may be highly commended.”
