"Since the publication in 1832 of that classic of cynicism, The
Domestic Manners of the Americans, by Mrs. Trollope, perhaps
nothing has appeared that is more caustic or amusing in its
treatment of America and the Americans than the following passages
from the letters of a cultivated and educated Chinaman. The
selections have been made from a series of letters covering a
decade spent in America, and were addressed to a friend in China
who had seen few foreigners. The writer was graduated from a
well-known college, after he had attended an English school, and
later took special studies at a German university. Americans have
been informed of the impressions they make on the French, English,
and other people, but doubtless this is the first unreserved and
weighty expression of opinion on a multiplicity of American topics
by a Chinaman of cultivation and grasp of mind."
