Zustand: Sehr gut. Paperback, viii, 228 pages, frontispiece and 28 illustrations on plates, very good condition. The author was married to Louis King (1886 - 1949), the former British consul at Tatsienlu (1913-1915 and 1919-1922). King wrote the historical introduction and put the book in writing.

Almost everybody who came to my country wrote a book or an article about it somewhere. To write a book was not in itself difficult, though it might be another thing to get anybody to read it. [.] And I had got used to your ways. [.] to your evening gowns, which make a human being look like a stork; and, after a toss or two, to your high--heeled shoes. [.]. You are rightly proud of your material culture, but you must not think peoples without it are necessarily uncivilized. Civilization and material culture are not one and the same. [.].
