Abstract

China and the Chinese
May 6, 1869 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "China and the Chinese," by J.L. Nevius. The book is written with clearness, and the author evidently aims to be just and generous and to give truthful delineations of Chinese character and institutions. Many of his sketches are well drawn and interesting enough to make one regret that lie did not enlarge more fully upon them; they tend to enhance the readers interest and respect for the Chinese and to stimulate the readers desire to know more of them. The author, of course, views the Chinese from his own standpoint and he exhibits no lack of confidence in the extent of his knowledge or the correctness of his judgment respecting them.
