Publisher's Synopsis

""By The Great Wall: Letters From China"" is a collection of letters written by Isabella Burgess Riggs Williams during her travels in China in 1909. Williams was a missionary and educator who spent several years in China, and her letters offer a unique perspective on the country and its people at a time when China was undergoing significant political and social changes. The book covers a wide range of topics, including Chinese culture, religion, politics, and daily life. Williams' writing is engaging and insightful, and she provides vivid descriptions of the places she visited and the people she met. ""By The Great Wall"" is a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Chinese history, and a testament to the enduring power of cross-cultural exchange.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
