Book Description
Excerpt from A Journey Through the Chinese Empire, Vol. 1 of 2 A word of explanation may be permitted concerning the plural pronoun constantly used by the author, the 7103 majesticum as it is called, not very correctly in this instance, for it is obviously employed by M. Hue, as by many others, rather to avoid the appearance of egotism and vail the individual personality. Since it seemed in some measure characteristic, the translator has not ven fured to change it for the more customary singular. But whatever may be thought on this and other trivial points, there is reason to hope from the subject of the work, the means of information enjoyed by the author, and his vivid and dramatic manner of conveying his im pressions, that his book will be received in this country with favor, equal to that which has already welcomed it in his own.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Journey Through the Chinese Empire, Vol. 1 of 2 The Author of these volumes is already favorably known to the English public, by his "Travels in Tartary and Thibet," but the present work is one of greater interest and importance than the former. M. Hue has enjoyed such opportunities of becoming acquainted with China as have scarcely fallen to the lot of any European before. During the journey here recorded - a journey through the very heart of the Empire, from the frontiers of Thibet to Canton - he stood under the immediate protection of the Emperor, traveling in all the pride and pomp of a high Government functionary, attended humbly by Mandarins, and surrounded by a military escort, and he was brought into constant and intimate relation with persons of the highest rank in the country. During a previous residence of no less than fourteen years in various parts of China, he had been in habits of familiar intercourse with all classes, but more especially with the poor, and while laboring in his vocation in obscurity and secrecy, had looked into the domestic life, and watched the working of the hidden mechanism of society in that mysterious Empire still so imperfectly known, though extending over a surface greater than that of all Europe, and comprising a population of one-third of the human race.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of China, Vol. 1 IT is unnecessary for me to detain the reader with any lengthy remarks by way of introduction to this history. The Chinese Empire presents for our con sideration one of the most complicated of existing problems; and the subject is of growing rather than waning importance. In 'dealing with its history we are not discussing the fortunes of some Empire that has long disappeared, nor are we seeking to discern the future of a race that has lost or forgotten the capacity of government; but we are treating of a stat-e and a people that apparently were never, during the long course of their national existence, more powerful and flourishing than they are at this very day.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Journey Through the Chinese Empire As to the physiological efl'ects of acupuncture, inde pendently of the relief afforded, which has been te marked, especially in cases of rheumatism and neural gia, they have mostly been observed to be the following. The introduction of the needle is not very painful, if care is previously taken to distend the skin, and if the needle is turned, instead of being driven straight forward. In general, its extraction is more painful than its intro duction; there issues very little blood from the pune ture; at most, only a few drops. The skin rises round the instrument, preserving its natural color; but it soon sinks again, and there is formed a red circle round it. The sick person then feels shootings directed toward the part; muscular contractions take place numbness, following the course of the great trunks of the nerves and feverish shiverings. It is not uncommon to see a sweat break out over the part corresponding with the seat of pain; and in that case it has ceased, or at all events be come diminished, or has shifted its place. Toward this time there have come faintings, more or less complete, and more or less durable, and which can scarcely be attributed to the pain of the puncture, since they have taken place when the painful sensation has ceased. This, it appears, is the only accident ever known to result from acupuncture. There might be, perhaps, cause to fear serious wounds and fatal consequences if the needle should traverse the great nervous trunks, or the organs essential to life. Some surgeons have asserted that the extreme. Fineness of the needle was a sufficient guarantee against consequences of this kind; but although in ex periments made on animals, it has been found possible to pierce with them the stomach, the lungs, and even the heart, without any bad result, it is, nevertheless.
