From the library of American journalist George E. Sokolsky, his bookplate is laid down on the front paste down. George Sokolsky was an admirer of the Russian Revolution as a young man and on graduating from the Columbia School of Journalism he moved to the Soviet Union to write for the Russian Daily News. However following the overthrow of the Kerensky government by the Bolsheviks he became completely disillusioned with revolution and in the words of Bennett Cerf, a former classmate, "Suddenly the flaming radical, Sokolsky, became the flaming reactionary, George Sokolsky, and one of the most important columnists in the United States of America." Leaving Russia he arrived in China to begin a 14 year residence there. During this period he became the friend and confidente of many important people of the time including Sun Yat-sen, Soong May-ling and others while writing for The Shanghai Gazette. On returning to the US he became very influential in right wing circles becoming an intimate of J. Edgar Hoover and a great supporter of Senator Joseph McCarthy.…

Together with: an odd issue of the China Journal, Vol, XXIX, no. 2. in original wrappers; waterstaining to spine, binding nearly perished, one article with heavy pen annotations, fair. From an article on the journal's history: "The original inception for the journal came when Mr. Arthur de C. Sowerby and Professor C. R. Kellogg of the Fukien Christian University were on a short hunting and biological trip in the mountains north-west of Foochow . The need of a biological journal in China had been discussed, and Mr. Sowerby, urged by the professor, made up his mind then to start such a journal, should adequate support be forthcoming. A few months later he met Miss Clarice Sara Moise, who, in the spirit of adventure of so many young American women of the present generation and of her pioneer ancestors who crossed the great American plains in the [eighteen] fifties, was travelling in China on her way round the world. A close friendship was formed, and, naturally, in due course the subject of the proposed journal was discussed. "The main difficulty in successfully starting a biological journal was the question of finance, since it was obvious that there were not enough biologists in China to give it sufficient support in this direction. It was here that the knowledge of the practical American business woman came in. During the deliberations that followed the conclusion was reached, that, since there were not enough supporters to warrant the founding of a journal of biology alone, the latter's scope should be extended to include every branch of science, as well as travel and exploration and the arts in their relation to China and the Far East." As per its mandate each issue includes a mix of reporting on art and science, with articles on numismatics, antiquities, literature in translation, travel, reports on hunting and fishing excursions, natural history, and kennel club news. Most issues include material and photos on hunting, and pictures of dogs with articles on their breeding and kennel club contests. Travel notes are largely on territories in China, but many excursions are made to Bali, South Asia, Korea, Taiwan, Java, the Philippines, the Middle East, and even into Africa. Contributors include Orvar Karlbeck, Jiang Kanghu, Floyd Tangier Smith, A. M. Tracy Woodward, A. W. Grabau, Chiu Bienming, Clarence Burton Day, George Kin Leung, Harrison Forman, Martin Lindsay, Aleko Lilius, and so on, representing explorers, collectors, foreign residents, second generation Chinese-Americans who migrated back to China, and, naturally enough, a number of scientists.…
