Written by one of the most prolific writers on China at the turn of
the century, this 1905 publication was intended as a guide for
travellers rather than as a scientific study of Asian landscape and
culture. Little, a well-known merchant and traveller, spent fifty
years of his life exploring the Orient. The book is structured with
a chapter dedicated to each region of China and the 'Dependencies'
(Manchuria, Mongolia, Turkestan, Tibet, Indo-China and Korea), as
well as Siam and Japan. Little proves himself a shrewd observer of
both landscape and peoples, and the content of his work is
wonderfully detailed. He manages to encompass a wide range of
subjects into his survey, including natural resources, the
development of railways, trade routes and meteorology, as well as a
history of the land mass and populations. The book is supplemented
with several maps and illustrations.
