October 4, 1894 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "Problems of the Far East: Japan, Corea and China," by George N Curzon. Most British books on Asiatic countries have a strong family likeness. The ideas exploited are that the British Empire is, under Providence, the greatest instrument for good that the world has seen, that its work in the Far East is not yet accomplished and that British interests must be first maintained and then enlarged, that -work similar to that of the British conquests, when done by the French, is at "indefensible outrage, that the influence of Americans, if not to be ignored, is hardly to be noticed with approval.
