The Far East
Its History and Its Question (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from The Far East: Its History and Its Question The aim of the present volume is to afi'ord in handy form a complete account of the history of the countries of the Far East, in so far as they have come into contact with Western civilisation. In carrying out this scheme, I have not deemed it necessary to dwell upon ancient history, beyond indicating the events which have served to bring the Occident and Orient together. I commence with an account of the earlier phases of Eastern Asia, sufficient to en able the reader to appreciate the conditions under which the Pacific borderland was first visited by the emissaries of Europe. From this point I have followed the story of the Far East in some detail, in the hope that the record thus presented may answer the requirements of the poli tical student who seeks to obtain a clear understanding of the problems involved.
