Sobre este artículo
Bristol: J.W. Arrowsmith, 1902. Book. Fair. Hardcover. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 411, (3 ads) pages. "This volume of war correspondence and travel bridges forty years of personal wanderings and adventure." - from Introductory. The adventures described took place in many places around the world. Here are the author's thoughts after a time in China: "The Chinese are noted for their savage cruelty. I had several instances, but I will not jar my readers' feeling by going into details of the Chinaman's 'gentle art' of disposing of his captive enemies. China, too, is the land of corruption. Every man considers it his duty to cheat his neighbour. It is a cardinal article of Celestial life. The process is known as 'squeezing' and, beginning with the Emperor, it is prosecuted down step-by-step." - from page 224. Unmarked. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's red cloth adorned with gilt lettering. Binding intact. Moderate spine slant. Backstrip all but loose. (Prior owner secured it with tape, now moved, leaving some tackiness.) A worthy vintage copy..
