A Journey Through The Chinese Empire Volume 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from A Journey Through the Chinese Empire, Vol. 1 of 2 A word of explanation may be permitted concerning the plural pronoun constantly used by the author, the 7103 majesticum as it is called, not very correctly in this instance, for it is obviously employed by M. Hue, as by many others, rather to avoid the appearance of egotism and vail the individual personality. Since it seemed in some measure characteristic, the translator has not ven fured to change it for the more customary singular. But whatever may be thought on this and other trivial points, there is reason to hope from the subject of the work, the means of information enjoyed by the author, and his vivid and dramatic manner of conveying his im pressions, that his book will be received in this country with favor, equal to that which has already welcomed it in his own.
