PRESS COMMENTS
Cook’s _Tours Annual_, 1911–12, page 108, recommends this book to world
tourists.
Philadelphia _Item_: “It is not only the most authoritative, valuable
and up-to-date book on China; it is also the most readable.”
Paris _La Nouvelle Revue_: “You will not find its equal as first-hand
information. Treated with marvelous mastership ... a keen observer ...
full of puissant interest.”
New York _Herald_: “A very complete view, graphically dealt with.”
New York _American_: “The definitive book on China.”
New York _Evening Post_ and New York _Nation_: “Relates in a humorous
vein his rich observations. It is refreshing to find so much valuable
and fresh information expressed in a quaint and original manner.
A comprehensive grasp of the greatest problem of the Far East....
Prophetic words.... One of the most interesting and instructive books
on the Chinese; ... most charming.”
New York _Tribune_: “A fund of descriptive information.”
New York _Times_: “The British reviewers speak as enthusiastically
of this book as the American journals have done. Written in a
pleasant and easy manner.... He is the happy possessor of a highly
developed efficiency and sense of humor.... Should prove agreeable to
a great circle of readers.... Excellent descriptive powers and gift
of observation.... Of inestimable use to the student, merchant or
traveler.”
New York _Sun_: “Fresh and seeing eyes; a flowing pen; that human
sympathy which counts greatly in gaining sympathetic readers; an
astonishing quantity of facts presented with so light a hand as
to invite the reader on almost every page; ... brilliantly clear
photographs; Mr. Thomson’s text itself is almost pictorial.”
Chicago _Journal_: “The only readable book ever written about that
weirdly interesting people.”
Columbus _Journal_: “A book that is believed to be the best English
definition yet given of the Chinese and their country.”
Portland, Oregon, _Chamber of Commerce Bulletin_: “This volume is in
the forefront of them all.”
Philadelphia _Press_: “For the American there is no book on China equal
to this one.”
Pittsburgh _Dispatch_: “Our leading authority on Far Eastern questions;
he enunciates the American doctrine of the Far East.”
London _News_: “Few writers have dealt satisfactorily with the subject,
and there was plenty of room for such a book as _The Chinese_.... He
has given a valuable and instructive picture of China as she stands
to-day at her time of crisis.”
London _Times_: “Knows China intimately; keen eye for detail; terse and
graphic style; ... mass of information.”
Hongkong, China, _Mail_: “Keenly observant; shrewd and sympathetic
insight; ... a vision of China of the present day, very telling in its
brightness and jauntiness of comparison; splendidly phrased.”
New York _Commercial_: “Most acute and pertinent observer. Fascinating
qualities of style not unworthy of the brilliant pen of Macaulay. The
book has a deep and permanent delight.”
Chicago _Banker_: “A new authoritative treatise by a writer resident in
China for years.”
Edinburgh _Scotsman_: “It may be doubted if there has been a volume
published for a long time which gives a better idea of the present
condition of the country.... He gives a vivid impression and is endowed
with a gift of humor.”
