Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by Herbert A. Giles PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Strange Stories From a Chinese Studio, Vol. 1 of 2 I. - Personal. - The public has, perhaps, a right to be made acquainted with the title under which I, an unknown writer, come forward as the translator of a difficult Chinese work. In the spring of 1867 I began the study of Chinese at H.B.M.'s Legation, Peking, under an implied promise, in a despatch from the then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that successful efforts would be rewarded by proportionately rapid advancement in the service of which I was a member.
