Abstract

Japan, China, and Tibet
December 17, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on three books on Japan, China and Tibet: "Jin riki-sha Days in Japan," by Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore; "New China and Old," by Arthur E. Monie; and "The Land of the Lamas," by William Woodville Rockhill. In the library of modern books on Japan, now numbering hundreds, even in English alone, works of women writers are not least. As solidly handsome in outward form, as well as in interior contents, as Scidmore's book is both externally and internally pretty. In reading Rockhill's book on "The Land of the Lamas," people not only turn their thoughts to the high places of the earth, but also reach the highest range of good bookmaking.
