The earlier part of this book deals with my youthful experiences in America and round the world during the 'seventies. Thence I come to my life in China, including the Franco-Chinese trouble of 1884-5, and then to my time in the Customs and Postal Services. Finally, I dabble somewhat in Chinese literature and--that bane of China--politics. -- Preface.
