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.

Excerpt from Chronological Handbook of the History of China: A Manuscript Left by the Late Rev. Ernst Faber Now in the first place, we do not mean to say by this, that the History of China shows nothing but darkness; we gladly acknowledge that there are also some bright lights flashing over the dark scenes of China's past. China has also produced some noteworthy examples of self-denial and heroism. But these are only like a few single stars of hope in the night; on the whole the gloomy impressions of Chinese history overbalance the bright ones. Heathenism is hopeless night, in Spite of the rays of light that flash through here and there (faber, China in the Light of History, p. And in the sewnd place, we do not make Confucianism responsible for all the crimes and corruption, of which the History of China is so full, but only SO far as the principles which led to this corruption are sanctioned in the Classics (faber, in his Essay on Confucianism, China mission-handbook, p. 2, reprinted as appendix to China in the Light of History) Especially two sources Of evil are manifest in Chinese History, the taking of concubines and the cruelties of unchecked despotism leading to rebellions.

Excerpt from An Outline History of China The writer claims for this little book nothing more than its title implies. It is, in the strictest sense of the word, an outline sketch of the pre Manchu period of Chinese history which, it is hoped, the student will fill in from a wider read ing. Some of this is suggested in an Appendix. The excuse for presenting it to a public already deluged with works on China consists in two facts. The first is the importance of the subject.

Excerpt from China and Its Future: In the Light of the Antecedents of the Empire, Its People, and Their Institutions The fair, though favourable, description of the Chinese Empire is also designed to appeal to the just and generous sentiments of those who talk lightly of the partition of China among the Powers of Europe, as if it were the abode of barbarous tribes or of a bankrupt civilization. China is still capable of great things if the people are allowed fair play. They are only now awaking from the sleep of centuries. They are slow to move, but will have a momentum proportioned to their vast numbers. If broken up, they mav inundate the lands of their conquerors with their swarming population, disorganizing the labour markets, and upsetting the costly enterprise of Western commerce by their industry, economy, and intelligence.

Excerpt from Forty Years in China: Or China in Transition I am fully persuaded that the Chinese have many admirable qualities; qualities that have made, and are destined still to make them a great nation. Yet I would be a false friend to that people to whose elevation I have consecrated my life, and of whom I'have so much hope in the future, were I not to speak plainly of the influences that are hurrying them on to ruin unless speedily checked by their acceptance of progress from the West, and that Divine religion, which, though originating in the East, is now propagated from the West. Hoping that God's blessing may rest upon this slight tribute toward promoting His truth, I commit it to the public, hoping it may throw some light upon the new Eastern question.
