Written as a result of close-range study this work represents China as “the theater of the most important events now taking place in the world.” It is an optimistic study, and the author “aims to explain those subterranean forces which seem to be raising the China of to-day from the bosom of the deep. Political agitation, whether periodic like the tides or unforeseen like the hurricane, is in general superficial and temporary, and the present reform movement in China, the author believes, has its root in forces more deep seated than such sporadic phenomena.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Optimistic in tone, philosophic in temper.”
