Eastern Asia: A History (Classic Reprint)

Ian Campbell Hannah

4.9/5 (31084 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Eastern Asia: A History The object of this little book is to give a clear but concise account of the history of the vast continent of Asia, taking in the islands of its coasts, but omitting Persia, Mesopo tamia, Arabia, Syria, and Asia Minor, countries whose history belongs more properly to that of Europe and the Mediterranean. The work was projected in my mind before I started for the East, and collecting materials for it was my chief occupation in spare time while I was in Tientsin. The criticism on the first edition that most impressed me was that it contained too many facts to the square inch, and in re-writing I have tried to leave out whatever was neither of interest in itself, nor of importance to the story as a whole. All names that could reasonably be dispensed with have likewise been removed. Ten years' further reading and much lecturing on the subject for University Extension in England and America, combined with class discussions joined in by many formerly resident in the East, has given me, I trust, a better grip of the subject, and enabled me to tell the story in a more interesting and lucid way than when I first sat down to write.
