"The Far East" is, as far as some three or four hundred
pages permit, a complete account of the history of the
Oriental Asiatic world in its relations with Western
civilization, with an examination of the existing factors in
the Far Eastern question, and a statement of the evidence
bearing upon the subject.
The appendices to the book are particularly useful for
reference, as they include a chronology of the history of
the Far East, the text of the more important treaties and
conventions, and furnish a bibliography of authorities on
the Far East.

"L'ouvrage de M. Pierre Leroy-Beaulieu, 'La rénovation de
l'Asie (Sibérie, Chine, Japon),' a eu un grand succès. Les
pages où le jeune voyageur a jugé avec tant de clairvoyance
les pays d'Extrême-Orient, qu'il a étudiés sur place, ont
fait, uon seulement en France, mais à l'étranger, la plus
vive impression. En trois mois la première édition de cet
ouvrage a été épuisée; la deuxième vient de paraître, avec
une nouvelle préface, chez l'éditeur Colin.... En même
temps, l'on en prépare une traduction anglaise et une
traduction allemande."--_L'Economiste français._
"M. Leroy-Beaulieu, in his interesting work, 'La rénovation
de l'Asie,' deals with the Japanese question at some length.
His book is doubly interesting because it is the first
serious contribution to the discussion of the Far Eastern
question by a French writer, and because, like Mr.
Colquhoun's book, it regards the Chinese problem not as an
isolated fact, but as part of a vast evolution."

"In Mr. Cobbold's opinion, the destiny of Afghanistan is to
be absorbed and to be divided between the rival empires,
though, if the reigning Ameer is succeeded by a son of his
own mold, the inevitable crisis will be deferred. To sum up
his political survey, what chiefly struck him in his travels
in innermost Asia was 'the barbarous insistence of the
Russian Government system, the brilliant success which
invariably attends Russian aims, and the puerile weakness of
the British Government in the protecting of the country's
interests.'"

"Of all the commercial missions to which the immediate
prospect of the development of the resources of China by
modern methods has recently given rise, the most fully
equipped and that with the most extensive and elaborate
programme is that organized by the Chamber of Commerce of
Lyons, and the report published by the director of this
mission, Mr. Henri Brenier, is of corresponding interest and
value."
