Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China in Convulsion At present, certain knowledge in regard to many im portant events, especially acts attributed to the Chinese Government, is unattainable, and there is a wide region in reference to which great differences of opinion are not only allowable but inevitable. It is the design of the present work, while giving in considerable detail the events connected with the siege in Peking, to sketch the important outlines of the events to which that formed the climax. It is certain that in cover ing so large a field there must be numerous omissions and inaccuracies, especially in details, and there is reason to fear that through imperfect knowledge some events are not set forth in their due proportions and just relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China in Convulsion, Vol. 2 of 2: With Numerous Illustrations and Maps At nine o'clock one evening an order came from Col. Shiba. Commanding the Japanese in the Su Wang Eu, for ten men and fifty sand bags for immediate use. The superintendent secured the bags, but could find only four available men. He then waked up another gentleman who, being appointed on a wholly different committee had nothing to do with the present, exigency, but assisted on general principles. On arriving at the Eu this gentle man learned that Col. Shiba had already got the men needed from the Roman Catholics near at hand. Meantime a note had come to the British Legation from the American Captain on the wall, requiring twenty men to raise higher the western wall of the eastern barri cade, as the Chinese west barricade was firing into it. The superintendent excused a lad too small to handle the huge bricks on the wall, and sent the same obliging substitute with the three men on hand to aid the band that were kept permanently in the American Legation for emergencies, but happened on this occasion already to have been working all day. When he arrived there the Captain who gave the order had been relieved, and his successor in charge knew nothing about any call for men, but informed the conductor of the workmen that it had been decided to postpone the work until daylight, when it would be done better. The ad interim assistant, the superintendent and the Chinese were then enabled to retire for what remained of the night.

The sensational details of the alleged massacre in the British Legation on the 7th of July [1900] ... when followed by a knowledge of the principal facts, riveted the attention of all nations. The absolute novelty, the intense dramatic interest, the world-wide scope, and the far-reaching consequences of the events which have taken place in China combine to differentiate the Convulsion in that Empire from anything in history ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from China Revolutionized All these questions presented themselves when the re formers startled the world with the announcement that there was to be a republic in China. Lit was to be a republic - not a monarchy said even those Chinese who had been educated in Japan, where lately a Japanese editor educated in America and ten pthers had been tried and executed in secret, the papers sealed, and the press censored. They wanted pitiless publicity in the new republican China. Had there been no abatement of the Opium habit through Amer ica's leadership Of sentiment, and Britain's sacrifice of rev enue from 1909 to 1911, there could have been no rebellion in 1911. The reform cleared the befogged heads of the nation, added a million men to agitation, and furnished a hundred million dollars directly and indirectly toward the independence Of the agitators. How great a stone America and Britain set rolling in that Opium Conference of 1909 at Shanghai! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Chinese Crisis The natural wealth and resources of China are exceptional, even when viewed with an appreciation of its size and population. Its most important articles are, of course, tea and silk, though, owing to the careless preparation of the plant and the improved methods followed in Ceylon, the tea trade is decreasing. Besides these, China produces vast quantities of wax, cotton, and rice, which are exported by the shipload. The best black tea is produced in the province of Hupeh, the choicest green in Anwei. The inferior qualities are mostly used in the prepara tion of brick tea. The process consists in welding the inferior leaf and dust together with mucilage and water into the form of a brick. Thus prepared, the tea keeps well. It is easily portable, and much used by the Russians and people of Siberia and Mongolia. In the latter country brick tea often passes as the standard of ex change, and serves in the place of a coinage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Emergency in China The promise to write this book was given before the Revolution broke out. It seemed comparatively easy when the task was first undertaken to give a brief summary of present conditions in China, and to point out some of the currents of thought Which sooner or later would produce startling results, but the difficulties increased a hundred fold after China had been shaken to its foundation by the sudden political tempest. To write of present conditions seemed somewhat like attempting to describe the transitory images produced in a kaleidoscope, inasmuch as everything was in flux, and nothing was permanent for any length of time. One felt that the writing of some of the chapters must be postponed as long as possible, in hope that a state of partial equilibrium might be reached be fore they were penned. As a matter of fact Chap ter II on the Results of the Recent Revolution was the last one taken in hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
