Excerpt from My Chinese Note Book The following Notes were not penned in the presumptuous hope of adding materially to the existing knowledge of the subjects with which they deal. The first part of this book was the result of much reading, in a land where time is apt to hang heavily on the hands of the unemployed. Having collected many facts, I was tempted to put them together in an easy and consecutive form, regretting only that for obvious reasons I was prevented from bringing the historic notes up to date. Those pages in which the descriptive element predominates were written at the instigation of friends at home, and primarily for their amusement, whilst the account of my various experiences at the Chinese Court were undertaken with a View to faithfully putting on record the manner of those receptions in which, after so long and rigorous a seclusion, the reigning Son of Heaven and his Imperial Mother at last condescended (driven no doubt by foreign pressure) to put aside the veil which for centuries had shrouded the faces of majesty in China.

Excerpt from Houseboat Days in China Imprimis, however, a word to the enlightened reader, the Old resident (bless his querulous ways I), who, rightly enough, asks to be informed of your book's raison d'étre. A' record of Idle ness, my dear Sir, trivial things set down in garrulous mood and chiefly for the delectation (if so it may be) of fellow-idlers. Herein you shall find little geography and even less science, except it be such as all may take, by favour of the gods, from pleasure trips into the lands of Thought and among the Hills of Vanity. A little chronicle, Madam, in memory of glad sunlit days, Of cheery companions, and the joy of living. NO great matter at best, and yet, to those who, smoking tolerant pipes, perceive -through the haze something of relative values, our boat and its affairs may, from a philosophic standpoint, be as worthy of attention as any of the world shaking matters that reverberate from the House by the River at Westminster.

Excerpt from The Chinese The feeling Of exile, ever too melancholy in the heart Of the white stranger whose lot is cast in this southern land of ten thousand granite peaks which extend along the coast for two days of the sea journey from Shanghai, is nowhere more happily dispelled for a season than at hong-kong Island during the race week in Feb ruary. The indispensable Celestial, Ah Chow, arrives from the breeding camps in Mongolia with a motley colored string of Shaggy, hardy Chinese ponies, thirteen hands high, for which he paid at the breeding steppes only ten dollars each, but which he will sell at ten times that price. They are all of such uncertain temper that bets are laid as to whether they will be left at the post or run away before the starter has shouted, go. Fat bellied as they are, some do the mile in two minutes ten seconds. There was a day in China in the reign of Hiao, when the Superintendent of the Stud ranked next in importance to the Throne itself. Then horses were large enough to bear armored men to battle. The his tory of stock in Japan, as well, Since that time has been one of decadence. These ponies are drawn by lot by the staffs of the Scotch firms, English Officers and gentle men, and the Parsee bankers who deal in opium and land.

Excerpt from The British in China and Far Eastern Trade This book has been written in the hope of interesting the British and the Chinese in the development of the vast natural resources of China. It was commenced in the early days of the war; many Of the ideas set forth were thought out during the long night-watches on searchlight duty. Notes for the book have been jotted down in queer places and in various countries. Some were made on steamers off the China coast; others in a sedan chair in a Chinese city; one was written in the Forbidden City in Peking; and yet another in a Chinese gaming-house at Canton. A few are survivals of pre - war journeys in Siberia, the United States, and Canada. One was put down in Egypt, others in Europe, but the book was written in hong-kong. The self-imposed task has given me more pleasure than any other piece of work, not excluding scientific research, which I have been able to finish. In times of disappointment, after my day's work was over, there was always encouragement in the wonderful story of men of my own race in China, and I have turned to the task now ended for relief during those long absences from home life which are inevitable for those of us who live in the Far East. Perhaps the chief stimulus was the desire to record some facts which I want my three boys, now at school in England, to appreciate. For they spent with me many happy hours of their young lives in China, and I hope that some day they will be ready and eager to maintain the best traditions of their race. There have been, as always, difficulties. First of all, there was the groping for the desired information and finally the less exciting, indeed the distressing, duty of eliminating much of it. For in its original form the book was at least twice the Size of this volume; but it became Obvious, even to the author, that neither a sympathetic reader nor a kindly publisher could maintain an interest in such a long story.
