By one of the C. M. S. best known missionaries. It consists of
seventeen stories, true to legend or to fact, ten of them studies of
the Chinese people as they are when heathen, and seven of them of
the same people when they become Christians. The stories cover a
wide range of social life, representing every class in the
community, from mandarins to thieves and beggars. As Mr. Campbell
Brown is a keen observer, and wields a graceful pen, the book is
unusually interesting and valuable.
