RAILWAY ENTERPRISE IN CHINA. 
An Account of its Origin and Development. 
By PERCY HORACE KENT. 
Demy 8v0. 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 policy 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. 
8v0. 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.
