Problems of the Far East: Japan, Korea, China (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Problems of the Far East: Japan, Korea, ChinaIn this New Edition, which has been carefully revised throughout, I have corrected a few mistakes that had crept into the first, and have introduced a good deal of additional matter, supplied or suggested by the events of the past year. The Revision Treaty between Great Britain and Japan, and the Treaty of Peace between Japan and China, are printed as appendices; and in a fresh chapter I have endeavoured to sum up the main issues of the recent conflict, and to forecast its bearing upon the Asiatic situation. I should add that the greater part of this chapter was written before the late change of Government in England, and that it has been composed in entire independence of official information or authority.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
