rif. 11140177 leaves. 8vo 234 x 158 mm. later wrappers. Japan & China: ca. 1925-26. In the mid-1920s a group of 28 students at the Agricultural School of the then-named Tokyo Imperial University led by Prof. Takaishi Hajime 高石発 made a tour of northeastern China to study the state of agriculture. They departed from the port of Kobe and arrived at Tianjin. Thereafter they visited Beijing Dalian Fushan Mukden today’s Shenyang and finally Harbin before travelling by land through Korea to Japan. At that time there was a considerable Japanese presence both military and industrial in this area of the country. The Japanese-owned South Manchuria Railway Co. was a large conglomerate involved in every aspect of the economic cultural and political life of Manchuria. This highly legible manuscript is an illustrated journal of the tour kept by one of the students. He records his impressions of each city its landmarks and local customs. In the countryside he describes the agricultural research stations agricultural activities of the farmers and their crops local industries such as salt-making and fisheries various large industrial activities including manufacturing vegetable oils and fertilizers electrical power generation etc. The student has tipped-in a number of maps city plans and newspaper clippings.

1911rif. 5251London: March 29 1911. Very good. 1p. Previously folded. Contemporary manuscript annotation is left margin. Light toning. A brief but interesting letter dated March 29 1911 from Marshall Broomhall Editorial Secretary of England's China Inland Mission to the Rev. Arthur H. Smail a prominent American Missionary in China. Broomhall had recently published a book Islam in China in which he promoted the use of Arabic-speaking missionaries to proselytize Chinese Muslims. The book used information received from Smail about the Chinese Muslim population but Broomhall at certain points managed to confuse Beijing Peking and nearby Tongzhou Tungchow while apparently attempting to criticize Smail's statements. This letter apologizes to Smail for his error though the American seems to have still been cross -- having received the letter Smail noted in the left margin "Two pages gives to demolishing what I never said!

1928rif. 6054Shanghai China: February 24 1928. Very good. 1p. plus colored woodblock print 21.5 x 12.5 inches. With original envelope. Old folds minor wear. Mimeographed fundraising letter sent by Reverend H.G.C. Hallock to a supporter in Vermont. Henry Galloway Comingo Hallock 1870-1951 was a West Virginia native who studied at Princeton Theological Seminary. He moved to China as a Presbyterian missionary and teacher in 1905 where he taught Sunday School served as a pastor and also taught theology at St. John's University in Shanghai. He survived war disease famine and a Japanese prison during World War II; he died in China in 1951. One thing that set Hallock apart was his inclusion of local Chinese woodblock prints with his fundraising letters which today have become desirable collectibles. Such a print is present here showing the God of War Wu-ti. His letter opens discussing the print: "Wars in China suggest sending you 'Wu-ti' the Chinese god-of-war. . The general idea about Wu-ti is that he delights in war. That is not the Chinese idea of him. . Officials and scholars worship him as the ideal of loyalty soldiers do it to make them brave and protect them in battle and the people worship him to protect them from war's horrors. He's called 'Peace Bringer Protector Great God of Loyalty.' But he makes not peace nor protects nor makes loyal so is a failure. He's also called 'Warrior Prince.' As to that name he's a great success! There are lots of wars." He goes on to discuss the many conflicts which are like "a real Chinese puzzle" noting that it's not the people of China who are at issue or fault. "Recently I have received letters from America suggesting that since 'China has altogether gone to the bad and the Chinese are absolutely impossible' and since our 'work among them has gone for nothing' then I should 'quit and come home.' I hope you don't think thus. The masses of Chinese tho reminding me of 'dumb driven cattle' are still friendly as ever. The war-lords the Nationalists the Reds the bandits wars and evil propaganda are disturbing elements; but they are NOT China nor the Chinese. . The troubles in China have come from a fiercely aggressive and 'noisy minority' who make the great mass of Chinese suffer untold hardships." He goes on to defend the Christian work being done in China as of great benefit to the people. February 24 unknown books

Letter written by a nurse visiting China relating her itinerary in China which includes numerous trips to local hospitals and leper colonies. Minnie Goodnow was a registered nurse who served in France during the Great War. After her return to the U.S. she was a nursing administrator in several hospitals before embarking on this journey. She writes: "I am having a trip that is no less than wonderful. I had three objectives in mind for it -- to see the world or some bits of it; to see hospitals and learn something of what was being done in nursing education in several lands; and to see something of missions at first hand. I'm doing all three of them -- superficially but with great profit to myself. . I went up to Chiengmai with some of the mission people staid with Dr. and Mrs. Cort saw the wonderful leper colony and had a marvellous time. Here in China I have had a steady diet of missions and hospitals and done sight-seeing too." She goes on to relate her itinerary which includes trips to Shanghai Nanking Hankow and Changsha as well as a stay at a Buddhist monastery -- "Can you fancy the thrill I got from spending the night on top of a sacred mountain in a Buddhist monastery in the heart of China!" She continues: "Miss Stephenson went with me to two 'country' hospitals -- to complete -- or add to -- my education! They were those at Siaokan and Tiean and were most interesting. I also saw the old-fashioned leper asylum at Tiean which is on the way to becoming new-fashioned. Then I came here to Peiping where I have been for nearly four weeks. I am giving a short course in History of Nursing and doing sight-seeing also meeting people." She tells her reader that after China she plans to travel on to Indian with a similar mission. An interesting look into the culture of American travel and mission work in China in the 1930s. June 4 unknown books
