China and the Chinese

Book cover
Herbert Allen Giles for several years was a diplomat in China and in 1897 was appointed Cambridge University’s second professor of Chinese. He published many works about Chinese language and literature, history and philosophy. This series of lectures, named “China and the Chinese”, was given at Columbia University in 1902, to mark the establishment of a Chinese professorship there. The lectures were not intended for the specialist, more to induce a wider and more systematic study of China and its culture, and to encourage new students. Many of the observations are important today, others will remind how much China has changed since the period of the Manchu Qing dynasty in which he wrote.
