Excerpt from The Critic in the Orient

Egypt appeal to the sense of the historical. 7apan stands alone, alien to all our ways of life and thought, but so intensely artistic, so saturated with the intellec tual spirit that it seems to belong to another world than this material, commercial existence that stamps all European and American life. The new China furnishes an attrattive field of study, but unfortunately when I visited the country it was in the throes of revolution and travel was dangerous anywhere outside the great treaty ports.
