Excerpt from Lion and Dragon in Northern ChinaChina has been worked out. The demand for books that profess to deal in a broad and general way with China and its people as a whole has probably, indeed, been fully satisfied: but China is too vast a country to be adequately described by any one writer or group of writers, and the more we know about China and its people the more strongly we shall feel that future workers must confine themselves to less ambitious objects of study than the whole Empire. The pioneer who with his prismatic compass passes rapidly over half a continent has nearly finished all he can be expected to do, he must soon give place to the surveyor who with plane-table and theodolite will content himself with mapping a section Of a single province.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
