J. Dyer Ball Things Chinese

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. ON the appearance of 'things Japanese,' it was suggested to the Author that he should prepare a book on similar lines with regard to Chinese subjects, and the present volume is the result. His thanks are due to B. H. Chamberlain, Esquire, for the courtesy and kindness which accorded him a ready assent to the request that the classification and plan of arrangement used in 'things Japanese' might be copied in Things Chinese as far as was compatible with the subject matter of the latter.
