SOME IMPORTANT MISCELLANEOUS BOOKS 



An American Engineer in China 



By WILLIAM BARCLAY PARSONS. Cloth, i2?no. $/.jo.

 profession 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
