The book is undoubtedly a genuine translation by a learned mission ary of a Chinesc book and a recent and aportant one, too. The author is a mod erate, yet energetic, man in Chinese affairs and his book gives us a fine Insight into the eastern problem from a Chinese stand- point. He holds America up to the Chinese asg an examwple to follow in many, though not all, vespects. He points out their mis- takes and faults to his countrymen and tells them that China alone, of all coun- tries, has been for vears irreclaimably stupid and not awah As an earnest and devout fucian and a con- servative and moderate philosopher the author proclaims the belief that the only salvation for China is to adopt the most desirable features of western civilization, including railways, telegraphs, military or- ganization and tacties. Also to acquire the best part of Occidental learning and at the same time retain the Chinese religion, dynasty, civil polity and soclal organiza tion. In other words, he advocates doing exactly what the Japanese have done and the Slamese ure trying to do. His book was written just after the Japanese war | and recelved instant approval by the pres- ent emperor, who circulated a million | coples broadcast over his empire. Indeed, i the empress dowager had not stepped in and interfered this book would undoubt- edly have formed the basis of the young emperor's reform The book was trans lated by Mr. Woodbridge in China during the troubles preceding the recent outbreak and as translated has a truly Chinese, childlike and bland flavor.
