Excerpt from The New America and the Far East It is possible to govern: a dependency better than the home country. The Eng lish rule in India is like the Roman rule during the happiest period of the provinces, in justice, moderation and understanding of the governed. The Romans, however, successfully sought to make Romans of their colonists. Spain, Britain, Asia Minor and northern Africa accepted the architecture, the gods, the military system and eventually the language of Rome. In India, however, the rulers and the ruled are as separate as they were when the English first came. No English Viceroy marries a native princess and founds a reigning family. Not more than a hundredth of the people have accepted Christianity in any form. The natives go to the English courts for justice, ride on the English railroads, buy English goods, but only a small fraction speak English. Suttee has been abolished for many years and Juggernaut is no longer allowed to crush his victims; but such a national incubus as the caste system shows almost no wearing down, and the rankest and foulest heathenism is practised every day in temples a few hundred yards from mission stations. India remains Asiatic to the core. The picturesqueness of the country, many of the incidents of its remarkable history, and some of the great Indian personalities are set forth in this book. It shows the variety and the complexity of Indian conditions and Indian life. The Indians are well known to be blood brethren to the people of western Europe, as is shown by the kinship between Sanskrit and Greek, Latin and even modern European tongues. This volume does not aim to show the likeness between the east and west, the similarities of human nature in both continents, but rather to call attention to the divergencies. The author squarely faces the discontent of that part of India which can express its opinion of the rule of the foreigner. In effect, the loud and increasing voices of protest in India insist that the land would rather govern itself ill than be well governed by the Feringhee. And ill governed the land will be, if ever the English lose their hold. For, besides the old rivalries of north and south, of hill and plain, is the unceasing bitter feeling between the Hindu and the Moslem, who live in many parts of India side by side. For all these problems, this book is helpful for its account of the actual conditions of India, of the spirit of the people who may perhaps some day try their own skill at empire building.

Excerpt from The New America and the Far East: A Picturesque and Historic Description of These Lands and Peoples During that period, we have changed from one of the weakest to the most powerful nation on the globe. Fifty years ago, the monarchs who governed what were then the leading nations of the earth established diplomatic relations with scarcely a thought of the young republic on the western Shore of the Atlantic. N ow, the powerful nations of the world seek our friendship, and none venture any important diplomacy without first learning whether it will be acceptable to this great republic.

Excerpt from The New Far West and the Old Far East: Being Notes of a Tour in North America, Japan, China, Ceylon, Etc Those uninterested in emigration or farming in Canada are recommended to skip chapters VII., VIII. And IX. Altogether. After leaving Canada and the United States, I re turned home via Japan, China, Ceylon, and Egypt - all new countries to me, my experiences in those regions being described in the portion of the volume entitled Tile 01d Far East. I cannot flatter myself that all parts of this volume will be of equal interest to every reader, but the chapters referring to the agricultural lands of Canada may be useful to intending emigrants, and the others are the result of my personal observations, which though cut short and rendered meagre in parts by a severe illness, still I trust may interest those who have not yet visited those far distant lands.

Excerpt from A Yankee in the Far East New pastures have always interested me, and if I can add to the sum of human happiness by a wise suggestion, and point the way to satisfy an almost universal longing to see the world, for instance, if I can show how one can make a luxurious world tour and come out ahead of the game while doing it, I shall be only too glad.

Excerpt from Twenty Years in the Far East: Sketches of Sport, Travel and Adventure Travel, Sport and Adventure, as a tribute to the memory of the writer, my late husband, and I feel that some few words of explanation and introduction are necessary. It was his intention to have published them as soon as written, in the hope that the flattering winds, which favoured his first venture, The Land of the Dragon, might waft this slight craft on a successful voyage. As will be seen from the volume itself, he was full of the joy of living, and was always ready' when opportunity offered, to leave the monotony of official life and snatch a few weeks, or even days, in which to see new sights and meet with fresh experiences. He was always, on these occasions, the best of comrades, being uniformly cheerful and optimistic, and at all times full of resource, insight and charm.
