Framed Print of The Far East: the British Legation, Pekin, 1895. Creator: Unknown
The Far East: the British Legation, Pekin, 1895. For generations past, British trade has known of nothing so momentous as the appearance in those Eastern waters of a great industrial nation with plenty of capital, plenty of cheap efficient labour, excellent taste and invention, a commanding geographical position, and the prestige of a conquering naval power. What opportunities British trade may gain, on the other hand, by the opening up of China (and not of China alone) is yet to be ascertained...the whole book is pervaded by two anxieties. One, a feeling of doubt whether Englishmen at home have even a remote conception of what their empire is - how vast measured by the common standards of greatness, how great in the justice it secures and the peace and freedom it affords to scores of millions of men who would lose everything that makes life worth living were her flag to fall. The other anxiety is lest we should fail to seize the opportunities which are now opening up in the Far East for extending this beneficent dominion - not only because it is beneficent, of course, but to serve ourselves and the general good at the same time'. Frederick Greenwood. Review of "The Peoples and Politics of the Far East" by Henry Norman, [Fisher Unwin). From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
