Little, Archibald John. Far East. [*]$2. Oxford.
“A volume of that excellent geographical series, ‘The regions of the world.’ ... The book is no mere compilation, but written out of a full experience. Most of the chapters are occupied with China historically and geographically.... The description of the Yangtse valley is especially good and complete, for on this Mr. Little writes with unique knowledge. There are also interesting chapters on Mongolia and Turkestan, and a very good and full account of Tibet and the various approaches to that land.”—Spec.
“The style of the book is everywhere lucid, its thought is everywhere original and stimulating, and even dry geographical details are vivified by their connexion with human history.”

“It is the kind of book of which there has been genuine need for some time.”

“Is a capital illustration of what may be accomplished by judicious condensation. Every sentence counts, and the ultimate result is not a confusing jumble of facts and figures—as it might easily have been—but a clear-cut picture, the details of which are unmistakable.”

“We congratulate Mr. Little on having given us a most readable volume, full of information, and yet with that local colouring which is an essential for a book to command the attention of the general reading public.”
