Excerpt from Asia, Vol. 1: Northern and Eastern AsiaDuring the second half of the dying century the African Continent may be said to have enjoyed a monopoly of public interest. So rapid and marvellous have been the developments, both geographical and political, witnessed in that region, that it almost needed the Armenian atrocities to recall attention to the scarcely less thrilling and in some respects even more important events that have taken place in the neighbouring con tinent of Asia since the appearance of the first edition of this work in 1 882. In less than two decades, geographical and political movements have yielded such an abundance of fresh materials as to require the expan sion of that bulky volume of over 750 pages into two of about 550 pages each for the new issue of this series.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
