Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chinese, and the Chinese Question The pages following are devoted to a subject second to none in political importance; one upon the determination of which the ultimate destiny of our country and of our people must depend. The events of the eight years that have elapsed since the publication of the first edition have but confirmed the views expressed in the latter, and have afforded additional proof in abundance of the soundness of the conclusions set forth therein. Although, for convenience, it has been preferred to divide the volume into chapters, the work as a whole, relating to the Chinese question in its broad and varied phases, is composed of substantially four parts, each I framed in the double aspect of illustrating in detail the branch to which it especially relates and the essential connection of that branch with the subject at large: thus, from page 1 to page 72 relates to the Chinese, their work, institutions, and character as a people, and their place and influence in former times among the nations and races of the earth; from page 72 to page 107, to their modern relations with the nations of the West; from page 107 to page 141 to their advent and presence in our own country; and from page 141 et seq., to the methods dictated by policy and law for their elimination from our domain. The author may say here what he said in the preface to the first edition, that in urging his convictions concerning Chinese immigration, he speaks from no immature judgment and expresses no hastily formed opinion.
