Publisher's Synopsis

As A Chinaman Saw Us is a book that contains a series of letters written by Henry Pearson Gratton, an American businessman who spent several years living and working in China in the early 20th century. The letters were addressed to a friend back in the United States and provide a unique perspective on American culture and society from the point of view of a foreigner. Gratton's observations cover a wide range of topics, including politics, economics, social customs, and everyday life. He offers insights into the ways in which Americans interact with each other and with people from other countries, and he reflects on the challenges and opportunities that come with living in a foreign land. Throughout the book, Gratton's writing is characterized by a sense of humor and a keen eye for detail. He is able to capture the nuances of American life in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. As A Chinaman Saw Us is a fascinating read for anyone interested in cross-cultural communication and the complexities of life in a globalized world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
