Things Chinese - Being Notes on Various Subjects Connected With China #272353

ON the appearance of 'things Japanese,' it was suggested to the Author that he should prepare a book on similar lines with regard to Chinese subjects, and the present volume is the result. His thanks are due to B. H. Chamberlain, Esquire, for the courtesy and kindness which accorded him a ready assent to the request that the classification and plan of arrangement used in 'things Japanese' might be copied in Things Chinese as far as was compatible with the subject matter of the latter.
