Book Description
Excerpt from The Love Story of a Maiden of Cathay I bade her keep them until I found out if you were likely to be in need. And then for the first time I sat down to consider the matter of your maintenance. Sheng Bei Li, daughter of an ex-viceroy, basking in his smiles and sheltered under his roof, was a girl of unlimited means. But Sheng Bei Li, a medical student in Edinburgh, fol lowed by the wrath of that ex-viceroy, must look elsewhere for funds. That much I knew. I was as witless as your mother, and at that moment you could have had my jade bracelet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Two Heroes of Cathay, an Autobiography and a Sketch Were the story of Mr. K'ung's boyhood days given as fully as is Mr. Fay's, we should have a strongly contrasting picture, one of life in a wealthy, aristocratic family. For him there was less of peril and adventure, less of external loss, in that sad, last year of the century, but the sympathetic heart will catch the deep pathos of this tragedy of the inner life.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mey Wing: A Romance of Cathay Chao Ju lived in Tong Dsing. Around on the other side of the planet, where up is down, they have some queer customs. One of these is that when a boy is born, the father announces the joyful news by sending out hundreds of many-colored eggs to his friends. So when Chao Ju was born, the eggs were sent out at the right time. The incense of thanksgiving was burnt in the temple of Kiang Yin, the Merciful goddess to whom the incense of prayer had been offered when the mother went to her shrine to ask for a boy. The barber was called in, with his outfit carried on a pole across his shoulders, and the hair was shaved, leaving the little bald cranium with all the bumps showing, and the life-beats pulsing across the soft spot. If any of you had gone to see the baby, you would have had to take a long journey. Take the steam-ears to San Francisco, and the steamboat to the Land of Long Ago. You must not stop to get more than a glimpse of the mountains and vales and lava trenches of the Sugar Islands.

Excerpt from A Cycle of Cathay: Or, China, South and North The gentle reader will find the explanation in the following pages. I have not had time to compare views with any one who has written on the subject, nor even to verify my dates, having depended solely on my memory, and dictated my text, with all pos sible rapidity, to a stenographer. Trusting the reader will regard favorably the following chapters, unkempt as they are, and that he will lay down the book with the convie tion with which I have written it, namely: that in the events now going on in the Far East, great issues are at stake for the church, the state, and the world.

Excerpt from A Corner of Cathay: Studies From Life Among the Chinese There is a singular homogeneity in the Chinese, and a remarkable general conformity to type. While many things here portrayed are local, it is believed that all are typical of the nation as a whole. Where economic questions are considered, the Eng lish reader may estimate the dollar at four shillings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Makers of Cathay China has for centuries been a sealed country, and the part she has played in the history of the world has never been recognised by Europeans. Now that the East and West have drawn so much nearer together, it is seen that in that Empire movements have taken place which have considerably affected the other nations of the earth, and men have lived who deserve a place in the record of the world's great ones. Owing to the policy of seclusion that has characterised the Chinese nation, little has become known of the great characters of her history, and they have been denied the world-wide fame that ought to have been theirs. We are acquainted with the lives of men who in other countries and in other ages have proved their title to the world's homage, and the question of nationality is lost sight of in the consciousness that these men belong to us all; they are the elite of humanity. Who does not know something of Alexander the Great or Julius Cæsar, of Charlemagne or Luther? But who amongst ordinary readers knows anything of Chin Shih Huang Ti or Kublai Khan, of Tai Tsung or Mencius? And yet these latter names are worthy of a place beside the former. Much has been written in recent years about China, but it has chiefly been descriptive of the country and its inhabitants, their curious customs and institutions. A few books have been written in which the Chinese character has been analysed and judged, and through these a better knowledge of the people has been obtained. Histories of the country have also been published, but being for the most part bulky volumes, have only reached those who were specially concerned in the political, commercial, or religious interests of the Chinese nation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ping-Kua: A Girl of Cathay IF you go by wheelbarrow or mule-litter across country from the Grand Canal of China at chi-ning to the city of N ing-yang, as you draw near to the Old willows by the moat you will see the corner and south side of the city wall, gray in the evening light. Following the road around to the west you cross the moat on a stone bridge and enter the city through a great arched gateway in the wall. Note the huge iron-clad gates. They Open in the middle and swing back against the wall each morning and swing out every night when the drum calls, meeting in the middle, where they are securely fastened by strong bars of wood which reach away across, with their ends fixed in holes at either side of the arch. Just inside that massive gateway, one morning about twenty years ago, a baby was born. The mother had climbed to the very top of tai-shan where the Goddess Of Babies has her temple, knocked her head many times before her shrine and, while clouds of incense smoke ascended, hadprayed most earnestly for a son. Then, stealing one of the boy-baby images from the shrine, she had carried it home and cared for it as if it were a real baby, believing the goddess would be pleased and answer her prayer. The whole family had hoped for a son, for girls are not counted as chil dren in Chinese heathen homes. It was because of all this that the faces of grandmother and mother-in-law were dark with frowns and the mother wailed, Wo-pu-yao-ti hsia-jen, which being interpreted means, I don't want a slave. The baby was a girl. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
