Excerpt from The Chinaman as We See Him

Now that we have moved our borders across the Pacific, the Chinese are more than ever coming into View; and certainly we ought to seek to be better acquainted with a people who have become our near neighbors. 'we are more than ever concerned in the vast possibilities, the material development, and moral characteristics of this ancient people, who are destined to occupy such a prominent place in the world's life. The corruptions of China, of which we hear so much, are largely confined to the ruling classes. The people themselves are a healthy, vigorous, virile race, who will undoubtedly grow in power and develop qualities of national life which the world will be compelled to respect and admire.
