Excerpt from India and Southern Asia

Highway to a region as vast in extent as the two Americas combined, and contain ing a population larger than that of all the rest of the world. India had been known as a distant land of semi-fable, China, as a still more remote land Of mystery, while Japan had not given the Western world a passing thought; but all this was changed when Europe learned that the sea offered a free passage to every adventurer who wished to visit those distant shores, and soon rival nations were hastening to the vast regions which had thus been opened to them as a field of commerce and conquest.
