Excerpt from England's Policy in China Our 'position towards China is not entirely new, but the gravity of it is now being realised for the first the. England has more reason than Napoleon had in Egypt to remind her soldiers and her politicians in the Flowery Land that they are in the presence of Forty Centuries. His Forty Centuries looked down from Memnon's statue, from pyramid and obelisk and sculptured tomb, over great sandy wastes, and on a scanty degraded population long accustomed to the persuasion of the stick; but on the Expeditionary Force to China the Forty Centuries which look down are no ghost of a dead Past, but a vast nation, a polity, a mode of thought and modes of life, which have beheld the birth of authentic history, and, having survived the vicissitudes of four thousand years, are still hale and strong though they have lost the fire of youth. 'we have not to do with a country thinly peopled by savage tribes, which must yield their hunting grounds to the expanding populations of Bumpe. It is not a mouldering corpse or a sick man before which we now stand, but a great and grave nation sufi'ering chiefly from the wounds which we 'have ourselves wantonly inflicted. It is a nation with arts and sciences which content its wants; with a literature unequalled in the depth of its practical wisdom with a state of society more homogeneous and th oroughly organised than any other existing on the globe; with education generally diffused; with material benefits richly ahareii by the labouring classes with a population which numbers more than a third of the human race, and which neither desires our interference nor refuses to accept our commerce.

Excerpt from China England But while this gloomy picture of the state of affairs might have been partly true of China in the time past, it is no longer true now. The sick man is rapidly convalescent, the sleeping lion is awake, and the hoary and tottery empire has had new blood injected into her system. China is moving and she is moving with a rapidity difficult for one who has not personally witnessed the wonderful changes to understand and realise. Repeated defeats at the hands of the foreign Powers soon convinced our people of the futility of matching bows and arrows against modern guns and explosives, whilst our wooden junks went down before the onslaught of armoured cruisers and battleships like wheat before the scythe. For several years there was loud and threatening talk of doing violence to the integrity of the empire, and one actually appeared under the ominous work and unfortunate title of "The break-up of China." No sooner did books and newspapers containing discussions of this subject appear than they were translated into our language, and the wild rumours of impending violence filled the minds of the people with indignation and alarm, impelling them at, one may say, the point of the bayonet to devise ways and means whereby national danger might be averted. Proofs of incidents were not lacking to warn our people that all were not brothers within four seas. The rising of the 20th century ushered in the New China, beaming and teeming in the prime of its vigour, though sometimes tempered by the over-enthusiasm of its juvenile spirit. As we know that we are in need of new knowledge badly, batches of young men have been sent abroad for such scientific education. Many of them devoted a large part of their time to the editing of magazines and the translation of books, a veritable flood of literature thus pouring back to their fatherland, and reaching every nook and corner of the empire.

Excerpt from Origin and Progress of the War Between England and China: A Lecture Taught as American citizens are, that man is endowed with the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; hav ing early learned, as we have, the lesson that it is the first duty of all governments to permit to each the pursuit of his own happiness in his own way, without intrusion from or molestation to others, we, cannot but regard the conduct of the Chinese Empire toward the other members of the great family of nations, as governed by a kin dred spirit. While other dynasties have arisen and flourished and fell, while other nations have with varied speed passed through the alternations of youth, manhood, and age, the adherence of the Chinese to this great principle, which is thus buried deep in the foundation of our prosperity, has caused century after centu ry to rise upon their empire, flourishing in vigorous activity. In an hour, which may yet be, if it be not already, fraught with immense evil to them, the Chinese so far relaxed from their exclu sive policy as to permit a foreign trade.

Excerpt from China, an Outline of Its Government, Laws, and Policy: And of the British and Foreign Embassies to and Intercourse With That Empire The introduction of those laws was occasioned by the growing power of the Dutch Republic, who supplied freight to the merchants of this country at a rate so much lower than that at which English ships could be procured, that foreign bot toms were used for bringing home the products of our colonies, while our own vessels were rotting in our harbours, and our mariners driven into foreign service. The increasing independence of Holland had led her to treat with indifference, if not with disdain, the appeal of the British Par liament for arrears of tribute due for fishing on the British coasts; for the restoration of the Spice Islands; reparation on account of the cruelties committed in those islands on the English, and for the indignities offered to their ambassador at the Hague.

Excerpt from A Vindication of England's Policy With Regard to the Opium Trade About two years ago I had occasion to go thoroughly into the question of the opium-trade between India and China. Up to that time, knowing practically nothing about the matter except what the Anti-Opium Society and their supporters had to say on the subject, I was as zealous an opponent of the traffic as any of them could wish. But as soon as I came to read both sides of the question, and consult original authorities, I felt myself forced, much against my will at first, to abandon my previous opinions. And I may as well say at once that I have no personal interest whatever, direct or indirect, in the maintenance or defence of the traffic.
