by Arthur Henderson Smith (Author)
Originally published in 1894, this early work on Chinese culture is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains details on the author's experiences of various aspects of Chinese life, such as politeness, conservatism, industry and economy. This is a fascinating work and thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the history of Chinese culture. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
