China and the East 



An American Engineer in China 



By II "ILLIAM BARCLAY PARSONS 



An Intimate Storx of 

 the China of To-day. 



A few months ago Mr. Parsons led a party of 



engineers into the interior of China in order to 



locate a route for an American railway in that 



country. He accomplished more than discovery; 



he secured an exact knowledge of the country, its 



people, resources and future possibilities, and he passed through some of the 



most remarkable experiences that ever fell to the lot of a traveller. The story 



he has written is a graphic account of his investigations in the country.

The Awakening of the East 



By PIERRE LEROT-BEAULIEU 



"The most talked-of volume 



in Continental Europe to- 

 day."— "&. Y. Times. 



This volume is the authorized English trans- 

 lation of the book which has thrown more light on 



the East than any single book. Under the divisions 

 Siberia, China and Japan, the author has traced the 

 development of Asia from their golden age of long 

 ago down to the modern present. He considers the renovation of the East as the 

 striking phenomenon of this latter half of the century. He treats comprehensively 

 the evolution of Japan from a hermit nation to a world power, the astonishing 

 development of Russia in Siberia, and the changes in China whose problems are k 

 now engaging all the civilized nations of the world. "Altogether," savs the 

 Nation, "this is a very timely and very able book by an author who gathers 

 without prejudice his facts at first hand."

A Great History by a Great Novelist 



The Great Boer War 



DR. A. CON AN DOYLE has produced a work that will stand for years 

 to come as a comprehensive history, presented with all the vividness of a picture 

 and the rich imagination of an artist. Dr. Doyle secured his facts first hand. 

 He served several months as a surgeon in South Africa during the war, and he 

 has been enabled to see and describe events clearly and accurately. 



"To the strict impartiality of the historian he adds the warmth of a novelist's 

 imagination, and the result is a book which will be read with the keenest pleasure 

 for long days to come." — London Daily Telegraph.
