Knox, George William. Spirit of the Orient. *$1.50. Crowell.
In the face of the great changes that are confronting an awakening East, these well illustrated studies by Professor Knox will be welcomed as gratifying additions to the many studies of the Orient which have recently appeared. Beginning with an introductory chapter upon America and the East, Professor Knox takes up first the American point of view, then the Asiatic point of view, and then passes on to a discussion of India, China, and Japan dividing the discussion of each into, Its people and customs, and, Its spirit and problems, and closing with a chapter upon, The new world. The whole forms a fund of Occidental entertainment and enlightenment.
