CHINA IN LAW AND COMMERCE. 



BY T. R. JERNIGAN. 



PRESS OPINIONS. 



In addition to his honorable record in the consular 

 service of the United States Mr. Jernigan has placed 

 English reading people under further obligation by 

 issuing what is probably the best single volume for 

 all who have practical relations or business with the 

 Chinese . . . We know of no book that enables one 

 to see as clearly those differences in the great Chinese 

 mass which have been wrought by the physical 

 influences operating through thousands of years. 



THE NATION. 



It is refreshing, after having read the many recently 

 published interpretations and attempted interpreta- 

 tions of Oriental life and character, to turn to so 

 practical a work as this of Mr. Jernigan .... The 

 inquiry is historical rather than physological, but 

 the result is an exposition of Far Eastern methods 

 of thought and conduct that is far more illuminating 

 to the Occidental mind than most, if not any, of the 

 fine array of volumes devoted to the minute dissection 

 of Oriental motives and mental attitudes. 



NEW YORK TRIBUNE. 



The book is packed with concise and practical and 

 important information. We have rarely come across 

 one that could instruct better in the ways of a strange 

 civilization those who are willing to learn.
