Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Wandering Student, in the Far East, Vol. 1 of 2
On the other hand, volume ii. Is composed mainly of a series of essays upon subjects of more especial interest to those who are them selves personally interested, either directly or indirectly, in the development of Far Eastern affairs - the student, the politician, the fin ancier, the merchant, and the manufacturer. Of the thirteen chapters composing this volume, nine are devoted to a critical ex amination of Japan's place in the Far East.
In such an examination narrative of travel finds but little place, the bulk of the space at my disposal being required for more serious discussion. The remaining four chapters chapters xix.-xxii. - are concerned with such matters as the present attitude of China towards Europe, and with the existing state of the commerce and communications (railways) of the Empire, some indication also being given as to their probable future development. Here again a description of travel finds no place.
