Klappentext
Excerpt from My Travels in China, Japan and Java, 1903
Parts of China and Java were also visited by me but of the people of those countries I have little to say in praise. The Chinese appear to be indifferent to the course of present events they seem to possess no national ideals, and I was much struck by the obvious individual selfishness of the people, among whom patriotism and public spirit had no existence. The Javanese are absolutely apathetic a display of energy on their part seems an impossibility. Both countries are, however, interesting and well worth a visit.
