“A Cycle of Cathay 
or, 
China, South and North. 
With Personal Recollections. 
By Rev. W. A. P. MARTIN, D.D., LL.D. 
“ It is the most valuable work that we have had on China for a long time, 
and from what it contains we may hope that the well-earned leisure Dr. 
Martin is enjoying in his native land will not be too much trenched on, by 
suggesting that he has many more ‘reminiscences,’ of both persons and 
matters, that the reading public would much like to peruse.”— Loti don and 
China Telegraph . 
“ ‘ A Cycle of Cathay ’ is a well-hit title. The book is a thorough success, 
and is thoroughly Chinese, the work of a man who knows them well and can 
write of them.”— Expository Times. 
‘ ‘ Dr. Martin’s recollections of his long and arduous career throw a new and 
clear light upon much of the history of the period which they cover, and the 
events which he relates include nearly all the steps which have been taken to 
open China to foreign nations. ”— Liverpool Daily Post. 
‘ ‘ This is certainly a most interesting book in itself, and probably the most 
valuable on Chinese affairs during the last sixty years—the length of a Chinese 
cycle.”— Asiatic Quarterly Review. 
“Not a page of the book is wearisome, for the personal element the writer 
has infused arrests attention, and renders the narrative irresistibly attractive. 
Some of it, indeed, is so romantic as to resemble the adventures of Robinson 
Crusoe, as, for example, when Dr. Martin was captured by pirates, and when, 
as an envoy to the Chinese emperor, he was treated almost like a criminal.”— 
Dundee Courier. 
“The work, which is illustrated by numerous sketches from drawings by 
native artists, as well as by photographs of Chinese scenes and personages, is 
a real and substantial addition to our knowledge of modern China.”— 
Scotsman. 
* ‘ Extremely graphic and instructive, bright and engrossing in style, and a 
very gratifying addition to English literature respecting little known or under¬ 
stood aspects of the Celestial Empire ."—Dundee Advertiser. 
“The book is eminently readable, and profusely illustrated.” — Cook's 
Excursionist. 
“It is fresh and interesting, and full of information to be had only from 
those who have lived in China.”— New Age .
