RAILWAY ENTERPRISE IN CHINA. 



Bn 2iccount of its QviQin aiiD development. 



By PERCY HORACE KENT. 



Demy 8vo. With Maps. 12s. 6d. net. 



The history of railway enterprise in China covers a period of 

 rather more than forty years. It reflects at once the main character- 

 istics of the Chinese official classes and the tendency of the Far 

 Eastern poHcy of foreign Powers. This book, in recording the origin 

 and growth of Chinese railways, and describing the present situation 

 and its development, aims at providing a succinct and unbiassed 

 account of an enormously important aspect of what is known as the 

 Far Eastern question. Each railway is dealt with in detail with 

 the latest information obtainable, and as the appendices contain 

 copies of the more important railway contracts, the book should 

 prove a valuable work of reference. 



PICTORIAL ART IN THE FAR EAST. 



By LAURENCE BINYON. 



8vo. With Illustrations. 



This important work, which is only rendered possible by the 

 immense additions to our knowedge of Far Eastern art during the 

 last decade, brings out and establishes the high interest of Chinese 

 painting, hitherto practically unknown in Europe, and of the older 

 schools of Japan, the subsidiary schools of India, Persia and Tibet 

 being also glanced at. The author's aim has been to treat his 

 subject not merely from the technical historical side, but as a theme 

 of living and universal interest, with its background of Oriental 

 thought and civilization.
