Excerpt from Asia The book, however, is more than an' ordinary diary of travel. It pictures the Asiatic peoples as they are found in their homes, on their farms, and in their factories. It also describes in simple language the civilization of the various nations, telling how they are governed, and showing the queer features of their educational systems. The changes now going on in the various countries are pointed out, and also the influence that these changes may have upon the future of Asia in connection with us. This book of travels is, to a large extent, the result of the original researches of the author during a two years' stay in different parts of Asia. Many of the descriptions were written on the ground, amid the scenes described, and a large part of the illustrations are from photographs taken by the author. Used as a supplement to the lessons in the text-book on geography, or for reading in connection with them, this book has also a definite and important educational purpose. By presenting to the mind's eye the various places of importance as they actually appear to a traveler, a new interest is imparted to geographical study, and what seemed before to be little more than a mere skeleton of dry facts becomes a living and potent reality.
