THE BEST HUNDRED BOOKS IN ENGLISH

ON CHINA

THE purpose of this short list of the avai lable literature on China

is to afford students and others interested in the Far East a con­

venient means of selecting the best sources of information on all

phases of the subject. While all of the books named are not in

print they are probably still to be had through booksellers and, for

the most part, in public libraries. With very few exceptions none

are mentioned that are too costly to be within reach of a library or

purchaser in need of a fairly complete collection on China. A few

titles in French or German in excess of the hundred supposed to

comprise the list are noted, also a few others that might replace

books not readily obtainable, so that the heading of this catalog

may be justified by actual selection. The bibliography of Chris­

tian missions in China is left for another list.
