Beg to Announce the Publication of 



An American Engineer in 



China 



By WILLIAM BARCLA Y PARSONS 



Those who have read the excellent articles on China 

 by William Barclay Parsons, which have appeared in 

 the last two issues of the Popular Science Monthly, will 

 appreciate the book, just now issued, under the title of 

 "An American Engineer in China," from which the articles 

 were taken. It is a volume that has authority. It instructs 

 without seeming to do so. Mr. Parsons is well known as 

 an engineer and it was because of his high rank in his pro- 

 fession that he was selected to head the party of American 

 engineers who were to open up the interior of China to 

 American trade. The book grew out of his experiences in 

 that land of paradoxes. His party made their way into and 

 through parts of China practically unknown to white men. 

 He accomplished more than discovery : he secured an exact 

 knowledge of the country, its people and its availability for 

 American enterprise. Many photographs illumine the text 

 of the work.
