"The author, who holds a brief for the Chinese, states his case with ability and with an appearance of justice. But by ignoring all that there is to be said to their detriment, and laying emphasis on the weak side of the Western position, he has drawn an unreal and misleading picture.

There is only one Chinaman who could write such a book, the present Chinese Minister at the Court of St. James, but it is not in his vein."--_Athenaeum, Nov. 30, 1901, p. 734._
