Hatch, Ernest Frederick George. Far Eastern impressions. [*]$1.40. McClurg.
Impressions of Japan, Korea and China, being the author’s recollections of a tour of those countries made some three years ago. His memory is fortified by facts and opinions collected at the time in his note books and the whole is cast in narrative form. While the industrial and political aspects receive first attention, the historical and social phases are fully and fairly presented and the book will undoubtedly fulfill its object of further stimulating public interest in the great Far Eastern problem. There are three maps and eighty-eight illustrations from photographs.
[*] “Mr. Hatch’s impressions are not mere chance gatherings and ill-digested glimpses; they are acute and weighty observations upon the things that appeal to a business man interested in politics. The volume is well indexed, well illustrated, and written in a clear and forcible style.” H. E. Coblentz.

[*] “The illustrations seem about as valuable as the text, for little of purely original matter of any great importance enters into the book, which is rather too rich in quotations.”
