Book Description
Excerpt from Amongst the Shans The researches and disclosures Of late years on ancient China have revealed, in the evolution of that country, a state Of things very dissimilar from that which was supposed to have existed. The history of China was considered to be that of the self-growth, during the protracted period required for such an evo lution, of an homogeneous race occupying nearly the whole territory of China Proper, from savage life to a state of culture unparalleled by any western nation five hundred years ago. N ow it turns out that neither one nor the other Of these assumptions have been confirmed by the progress of knowledge.
