Glimpses of that life however,\r\nare available, sufficient in number and character to give a fairly good\r\nidea of what it must be. The playground is by no means always hidden,\r\nleast of all when it is the street. The Chinese nurse brings her\r\nChinese rhymes, stories and games into the foreigner's home for the\r\namusement of its little ones.\r\n\n\r\nChinese kindergarten methods and appliances have no superior in their\r\ningenuity and their ability to interest, as well as instruct. In the\r\nmatter of travelling shows and jugglers also, no country is better\r\nsupplied, and these are chiefly for the entertainment of the little\r\nones.\r\n\n\r\nTo the careful observer of these different phases it becomes apparent\r\nthat the Chinese child is well supplied with methods of exercise and\r\namusement, also that he has much in common with the children of other\r\nlands. A large collection of toys shows many duplicates of those common\r\nin the West, and from the nursery rhymes of at least two out of the\r\neighteen provinces it appears that the Chinese nursery is rich in\r\nMother Goose. As a companion to the \"Chinese Mother Goose,\" this book\r\nseeks to show that the same sunlight fills the homes of both East and\r\nWest. If it also leads their far-away mates to look upon the Chinese\r\nBoy and Girl as real little folk, human like themselves, and thus think\r\nmore kindly of them, its mission will have been accomplished.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 522 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Headland, Isaac Taylor \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Headland, Isaac Taylor,1859-1942 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211141054621,"sku":"gb-522-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/522_95825b01-5bbf-4657-a27c-52a272080220.jpg?v=1671248280"},{"product_id":"court-life-in-china-the-capital-its-officials-and-people-gb-523","title":"Court Life in China: The Capital, Its Officials and People","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCourt Life in China: The Capital, Its Officials and People\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nUntil within the past ten years a study of Chinese court life would\r\nhave been an impossibility. The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the\r\ncourt ladies were shut up within the Forbidden City, away from a world\r\nthey were anxious to see, and which was equally anxious to see them.\r\nThen the Emperor instituted reform, the Empress Dowager came out from\r\nbehind the screen, and the court entered into social relations with\r\nEuropeans.\r\n\n\r\nFor twenty years and more Mrs. Headland has been physician to the\r\nfamily of the Empress Dowager's mother, the Empress' sister, and many\r\nof the princesses and high official ladies in Peking. She has visited\r\nthem in a social as well as a professional way, has taken with her her\r\nfriends, to whom the princesses have shown many favours, and they have\r\nthemselves been constant callers at our home. It is to my wife,\r\ntherefore, that I am indebted for much of the information contained in\r\nthis book.\r\n\n\r\nThere are many who have thought that the Empress Dowager has been\r\nmisrepresented. The world has based its judgment of her character upon\r\nher greatest mistake, her participation in the Boxer movement, which\r\nseems unjust, and has closed its eyes to the tremendous reforms which\r\nonly her mind could conceive and her hand carry out. The great Chinese\r\nofficials to a man recognized in her a mistress of every situation; the\r\nforeigners who have come into most intimate contact with her, voice her\r\npraise; while her hostile critics are confined for the most part to\r\nthose who have never known her.

She is a daughter of Lord Yu Keng, a member of the Manchu White\n      Banner Corps, and one of the most advanced and progressive Chinese\n      officials of his generation. Lord Yu Keng entered the army when very\n      young, and served in the Taiping rebellion and the Formosan war with\n      France, and as Vice Minister of War during the China-Japan war in 1895.\n      Later he was Minister to Japan, which post he quitted in 1898 to become\n      President of the Tsung-li-yamen (Chinese Foreign Office). In 1899 he was\n      appointed Minister to France, where he remained four years. At a period\n      when the Chinese Government was extremely conservative and reactionary,\n      Lord Yu Keng labored indefatigably for reform. He was instrumental in\n      reorganizing China's postal service on modern lines, but failed in efforts\n      to revise the revenue system and modernize the army and navy, from being\n      ahead of his times. He died in 1905. The progressive spirit of Lord Yu\n      Keng was shown in the education of his children. When it became known that\n      his daughters were receiving a foreign educationthen an almost\n      unheardof proceeding among high Manchu officials-attempts were made\n      to impeach him as pro-foreign and revolutionary, but he was not deterred.\n      His children got their early education in missionary schools, and the\n      daughters later attended a convent in France, where the author of this\n      work finished her schooling and entered society. On returning to China,\n      she became First Lady-in-Waiting to the Empress Dowager, and while serving\n      at the Court in that capacity she received the impressions which provide\n      the subject-matter of this book. Her opportunity to observe and estimate\n      the characteristics of the remarkable woman who ruled China for so long\n      was unique, and her narrative throws a new light on one of the most\n      extraordinary personalities of modern times. While on leave from her\n      duties to attend upon her father, who was fatally ill in Shanghai,\n      Princess Der Ling took a step which terminated connexion with the Chinese\n      Court. This was her engagement to Mr. Thaddeus C. White, an American, to\n      whom she was married on May 21, 1907. Yielding to the urgent solicitation\n      of friends, she consented to put some of her experiences into literary\n      form, and the following chronicle, in which the most famous of Chinese\n      women, the customs and atmosphere of her Court are portrayed by an\n      intimate of the same race, is a result.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 889 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Der Ling, Princess \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Der Ling, Princess,1886-1944 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211196596381,"sku":"gb-889-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/889_f8d78721-1984-482e-8067-5bfa611314ba.jpg?v=1671249008"},{"product_id":"new-forces-in-old-china-an-inevitable-awakening-gb-1675","title":"New Forces in Old China: An Inevitable Awakening","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew Forces in Old China: An Inevitable Awakening\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease take a look at the important information in this header.\r\nWe encourage you to keep this file on your own disk, keeping an\r\nelectronic path open for the next readers.

It is sufficiently\r\nexhaustive to show very clearly the new forces at work, and to\r\nbring some realisation of the great gulf which separates the\r\nthinking classes of to-day from the men of a few years ago;\r\nwhilst, at the same time, it is sufficiently condensed not to\r\noverwhelm the reader with too great a multitude of facts.\nParticular attention may be devoted to an unique featurenamely,\r\nthe Chinese and Japanese documentation which affords a sharp\r\ncontrast between varying types of Eastern brains. Thus, in the\r\nMemorandum of the Black Dragon Society (Chapter VII) we have a\r\nvery clear and illuminating revelation of the Japanese political\r\nmind which has been trained to consider problems in the modern\r\nWestern way, but which remains saturated with theocratic ideals in\r\nthe sharpest conflict with the Twentieth Century. In the pamphlet\r\nof Yang Tu (Chapter VIII) which launched the ill-fated Monarchy\r\nScheme and contributed so largely to the dramatic death of Yuan\r\nShih-kai, we have an essentially Chinese mentality of the\r\nreactionary or corrupt type which expresses itself both on home\r\nand foreign issues in a naively dishonest way, helpful to future\r\ndiplomacy. In the Letter of Protest (Chapter X) against the\r\nrevival of Imperialism written by Liang Ch'i-chaothe most\r\nbrilliant scholar livingwe have a Chinese of the New or Liberal\r\nChina, who in spite of a complete ignorance of foreign languages\r\nshows a marvellous grasp of political absolutes, and is a\r\nharbinger of the great days which must come again to Cathay. In\r\nother chapters dealing with the monarchist plot we see the\r\nofficial mind at work, the telegraphic despatches exchanged\r\nbetween Peking and the provinces being of the highest diplomatic\r\ninterest. These documents prove conclusively that although the\r\nJapanese is more practical than the Chineseand more concise\r\nthere can be no question as to which brain is the more fruitful.\nCoupled with this discussion there is much matter giving an\r\ninsight into the extraordinary and calamitous foreign ignorance\r\nabout present-day China, an ignorance which is just as marked\r\namong those resident in the country as among those who have never\r\nvisited it. The whole of the material grouped in this novel\r\nfashion should not fail to bring conviction that the Far East,\r\nwith its 500 millions of people, is destined to play an important\r\nrole in post-bellum history because of the new type of modern\r\nspirit which is being there evolved. The influence of the Chinese\r\nRepublic, in the opinion of the writer, cannot fail to be\r\nultimately world-wide in view of the practically unlimited\r\nresources in man-power which it disposes of.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4522 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Putnam Weale, B.

The Chinese Annals are mere diaries of events, isolated\r\nfacts being tumbled together in order of date, without any regard\r\nfor proportion. Epoch-making invasions, defeats, and cessions of\r\nterritory are laconically noted down on a level with the prince's\r\nindiscretion in weeping for a concubine as he would weep for a\r\nwife; or the Emperor's bounty in sending a dish of sacrificial\r\nmeat to a vassal power by express messenger. In one way there is a\r\ndistinct advantage in this method, for, the historian being seldom\r\ntempted to obtrude his own opinion or comments, we are left a\r\nclear course for the formation of our own judgments upon the facts\r\ngiven. On the other hand, it is unfortunate that what may be\r\ncalled the philosophy of history has never been seized by the\r\nChinese mind: the annalists do not trouble themselves with the\r\nrights and aspirations of the masses; the results to general\r\npolicy that naturally follow upon increase of population,\r\nperfecting of arms and munitions of war, admixture of foreign\r\nblood with the body politic, and such like matters. The heads of\r\nevents being noted, it seems to be left to the reader to fill in\r\nthe details from his imagination, and from his knowledge of\r\ncontemporary affairs. For instance, suppose the reign of Queen\r\nVictoria were to begin after this fashion:\"1837, 5th moon,\r\nKalends, Victoria succeeded: 9th moon, Ides, Napoleon paid a\r\nvisit: 28th day, London flooded; 10th moon, 29th day, eclipse of\r\nthe sun\"; and so on. At the time, and for many yearspossibly\r\ncenturiesafterwards, there would be accurate general traditional,\r\nor even written, information as to who Victoria was; why Napoleon\r\npaid a visit; in what particular way the flood affected England generally;\r\nfrom what parts the eclipse was best visible, etc. These details would\r\nfade in distinctness with each successive generation; commentators\r\nwould come to the rescue; then commentators upon commentators;\r\nand discussions as to which man was the most trustworthy of them all.\nUnder these circumstances it is difficult enough for the Chinese\r\nthemselves to construct a series of historical lessons, adequate\r\nto guide them in the conduct of modern affairs, out of so\r\nheterogeneous a mass of material. This difficulty is, in the case\r\nof Westerners, more than doubled by the strange, and to us\r\ninharmonious, sounds of Chinese proper names: moreover, as they\r\nare monosyllabical, and many of them exactly similar when\r\nexpressed in our letters, it is almost impossible to remember\r\nthem, and to distinguish one from the other. Thus most persons who\r\nmake an honest endeavour by means of translations to master the\r\nleading events in ancient Chinese history soon throw down the book\r\nin despair; while even specialists, who may wish to shorten their\r\nlabours by availing themselves of others' work, can only get a\r\nfirm grip of translations by comparing them with the originals: it\r\nis thus really impossible to acquire anything at all approaching\r\nan accurate understanding of Chinese antiquity without possessing\r\nin some degree the controlling power of a knowledge of the\r\npictographs.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 6624 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Parker, Edward Harper \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Parker, Edward Harper,1849-1926 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43215357477021,"sku":"gb-6624-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/6624.jpg?v=1671284415"},{"product_id":"china-gb-6708","title":"China","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChina\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs China has now fairly taken her place in the family of nations, it is\r\nunnecessary to elaborate an argument in support of even the humblest\r\nattempt to elucidate her history. It is a subject to which we can no\r\nlonger remain indifferent, because circumstances are bringing every day\r\nmore clearly into view the important part China must play in the changes\r\nthat have become imminent in Asia, and that will affect the security of\r\nour position and empire in that continent. A good understanding with China\r\nshould be the first article of our Eastern policy, for not only in Central\r\nAsia, but also in Indo-China, where French ambition threatens to create a\r\nfresh Egypt, her interests coincide with ours and furnish the sound basis\r\nof a fruitful alliance.\nThis book, which I may be pardoned for saying is not an abridgment of my\r\noriginal work, but entirely rewritten and rearranged with the view of\r\ngiving prominence to the modern history of the Chinese Empire, may appeal,\r\nalthough they generally treat Asiatic subjects with regrettable\r\nindifference, to that wider circle of English readers on whose opinion and\r\nefforts the development of our political and commercial relations with the\r\ngreatest of Oriental States will mainly depend.\nD.

It is sufficiently exhaustive to\r\nshow very clearly the new forces at work, and to bring some realisation\r\nof the great gulf which separates the thinking classes of to-day from\r\nthe men of a few years ago; whilst, at the same time, it is sufficiently\r\ncondensed not to overwhelm the reader with too great a multitude of\r\nfacts.\nParticular attention may be devoted to an unique featurenamely, the\r\nChinese and Japanese documentation which affords a sharp contrast\r\nbetween varying types of Eastern brains. Thus, in the Memorandum of the\r\nBlack Dragon Society (Chapter VII) we have a very clear and illuminating\r\nrevelation of the Japanese political mind which has been trained to\r\nconsider problems in the modern Western way, but which remains saturated\r\nwith theocratic ideals in the sharpest conflict with the Twentieth\r\nCentury. In the pamphlet of Yang Tu (Chapter VIII) which launched the\r\nill-fated Monarchy Scheme and contributed so largely to the dramatic\r\ndeath of Yuan Shih-kai, we have an essentially Chinese mentality of the\r\nreactionary or corrupt type which expresses itself both on home and\r\nforeign issues in a navely dishonest way, helpful to future diplomacy.\r\nIn the Letter of Protest (Chapter X) against the revival of Imperialism\r\nwritten by Liang Ch'i-chaothe most brilliant scholar livingwe have a\r\nChinese of the New or Liberal China, who in spite of a complete\r\nignorance of foreign languages shows a marvellous grasp of political\r\nabsolutes, and is a harbinger of the great days which must come again to\r\nCathay. In other chapters dealing with the monarchist plot we see the\r\nofficial mind at work, the telegraphic despatches exchanged between\r\nPeking and the provinces being of the highest diplomatic interest. These\r\ndocuments prove conclusively that although the Japanese is more\r\npractical than the Chineseand more concisethere can be no question\r\nas to which brain is the more fruitful.\nCoupled with this discussion there is much matter giving an insight into\r\nthe extraordinary and calamitous foreign ignorance about present-day\r\nChina, an ignorance which is just as marked among those resident in the\r\ncountry as among those who have never visited it. The whole of the\r\nmaterial grouped in this novel fashion should not fail to bring\r\nconviction that the Far East, with its 500 millions of people, is\r\ndestined to play an important rle in postbellum history because of\r\nthe new type of modern spirit which is being there evolved. The\r\ninfluence of the Chinese Republic, in the opinion of the writer, cannot\r\nfail to be ultimately world-wide in view of the practically unlimited\r\nresources in man-power which it disposes of.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 14345 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Putnam Weale, B.

Next in interest to the\r\nhistory of our own branch of the human family is that of the yellow\r\nrace confronting us on the opposite shore of the Pacific; even\r\nmore fascinating, it may be, owing to the strangeness of manners\r\nand environment, as well as from the contrast or coincidence of\r\nexperience and sentiment.

We\r\nhave no desire to show that China's history is the most glorious or her\r\ncivilization the oldest in the world. A claim to the longest history\r\ndoes not establish the greatness of a civilization; the importance of a\r\ncivilization becomes apparent in its achievements. A thousand years ago\r\nChina's civilization towered over those of the peoples of Europe. Today\r\nthe West is leading; tomorrow China may lead again. We need to realize\r\nhow China became what she is, and to note the paths pursued by the\r\nChinese in human thought and action. The lives of emperors, the great\r\nbattles, this or the other famous deed, matter less to us than the\r\ndiscovery of the great forces that underlie these features and govern\r\nthe human element. Only when we have knowledge of those forces and\r\ncounter-forces can we realize the significance of the great\r\npersonalities who have emerged in China; and only then will the history\r\nof China become intelligible even to those who have little knowledge of\r\nthe Far East and can make nothing of a mere enumeration of dynasties and\r\ncampaigns.\nViews on China's history have radically changed in recent years. Until\r\nabout thirty years ago our knowledge of the earliest times in China\r\ndepended entirely on Chinese documents of much later date; now we are\r\nable to rely on many excavations which enable us to check the written\r\nsources. Ethnological, anthropological, and sociological research has\r\nbegun for China and her neighbours; thus we are in a position to write\r\nwith some confidence about the making of China, and about her ethnical\r\ndevelopment, where formerly we could only grope in the dark. The claim\r\nthat \"the Chinese[Pg 2] race\" produced the high Chinese civilization entirely\r\nby its own efforts, thanks to its special gifts, has become just as\r\nuntenable as the other theory that immigrants from the West, some\r\nconceivably from Europe, carried civilization to the Far East. We know\r\nnow that in early times there was no \"Chinese race\", there were not even\r\n\"Chinese\", just as there were no \"French\" and no \"Swiss\" two thousand\r\nyears ago. The \"Chinese\" resulted from the amalgamation of many separate\r\npeoples of different races in an enormously complicated and\r\nlong-drawn-out process, as with all the other high civilizations of the\r\nworld.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17695 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Eberhard, Wolfram \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 7, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Eberhard, Wolfram,1909-1989 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217478025373,"sku":"gb-17695-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/17695.jpg?v=1671433769"},{"product_id":"china-and-the-chinese-gb-18021","title":"China and the Chinese","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChina and the Chinese\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nThe following Lectures were delivered during March, 1902, at Columbia\r\nUniversity, in the city of New York, to inaugurate the foundation by\r\nGeneral Horace W.

He is enabled to see \"the\r\nwheels go round;\" has the chance of getting his knowledge at first\r\nhand. In stirring times the drama of life is to him like the first\r\nnight of a play. There are no preconceived opinions for him to go by;\r\nhe ought not to, at least, be influenced by any prejudices; and the\r\naccount of the performance is to some extent like that of the dramatic\r\ncritic, inasmuch as that the verdict of the public or of history has\r\neither to confirm or reverse his (p. xii) own judgment. There is a\r\npeculiar and unique fascination about this reading of contemporary\r\nhistory, as it grows and develops while one peers with straining eyes\r\nthrough one's glasses. There is something like a first night, too,\r\nabout the way the critics view things. Sometimes great difference of\r\nopinion. I recollect the afternoon of Nicholson's NekBlack Monday,\r\nas it was afterwards calledwhen we returned into Ladysmith half the\r\ncorrespondents seemed to be under the impression that the day had been\r\nquite a successful one; while, on the other hand, one had headed his\r\ndespatch with the words, \"Dies Ir, dies illa!\" To get to the heart of\r\nthings; to see the upspringing of the streams of active and strenuous\r\nlife; to watch the great struggles of the world, not always the\r\ngreatest in war, but the often more mighty, if quiet and dead silent,\r\nwhose sweeping powerfulness is hidden under a smooth calmness of\r\nsurfaceto watch all this (p. xiii) is to intimately taste a great\r\ndelicious joy of life. The researches of the historian of bygone times\r\nare fascinatingabsorbingly fascinating, although he is always\r\nhandicapped by remoteness; but the historian of to-dayof his\r\ndaythis daywhose day-page of history is read by hundreds of\r\nreaders, the day after has set to him a task that calls for all, and\r\nmore than all, that he can givestimulates while it appalls, and\r\nwould be killingly wearying if it were not so fascinatingly\r\nattractive. That close contact with the men of this struggling world,\r\nand the men who do things, and shove these life-wheels round, warms\r\nup in one a great love for one's kinda comrade feeling, like that\r\nwhich comes from being tent-mates in a long campaign. Two o'clock in\r\nthe morning wake to the tramp, tramp of men marching in the\r\ndarkmarching out to fightand the unknown Tommy you march beside\r\nand talk to in low voice, as men talk at (p. xiv) that hour, is your\r\ncomrade unto the day's end of fighting; when returning, to the\r\nsentries' challenge you answer \"A friend,\" and, dog-tired, you\r\nre-enter the lines, welcomed by his sesame call, \"Pass, friend; all is\r\nwell.\"\nDeath from a Mauser bullet is less painful than the drawing of a\r\ntooth. Such, at least, appears to be the case, speaking generally from\r\napparent evidence, without having the opportunity of collecting the\r\nopinions of those who have actually died. In books we have read of\r\nshrieks of expiring agony; but ask those who have been on many\r\nbattlefields, and they will not tell you they have heard them. As a\r\nrule a sudden exclamation, \"I'm hit!\" \"My God!\" \"Damn it!\" They look\r\nas if staggering from the blow of a fist rather than that from a tiny\r\npencil of leadthen a sudden paleness, perhaps a grasping of the\r\nhands (p. 002) occasionally as if to hold on to something, when the\r\nbottom seems to be falling out of all things stable, but generally no\r\nsign of aught else than the dulling of deathdulling to sleepa\r\ndrunken sleepdrunken death it often seemsvery commonplace as a\r\nrule. A smile as often as, or oftener than, any sign of pain, but\r\ngenerally no sign of either. Think of this, mourning mothers of\r\nEngland. Don't picture your sons as drowning out of the world racked\r\nwith the red torture from the bullet's track, but just as dropping off\r\ndully to sleep, most probably with no thought of you or home, without\r\nanxiety or regret. Merciful Mauser! He suffered much more pain when\r\nyou brought him long ago to the dentist, and his agony in that\r\nhorrible chair was infinitely greater than on his bed on the veldt.\r\nMerciful Mauser be thanked!\nThe first man I saw badly hit during the war was a Devon at\r\nElandslaagte, just after they had advanced within rifle-range. He was\r\nshot through the head, and it seemed quite (p. 003) useless for the\r\nbearers to take the trouble of carrying him off the field; yet they\r\nwent back looking in vain for a field ambulance. They carried him\r\ninstead to the cart belonging to a well-known war correspondent. The\r\nowner had given the driver strict orders to remain where he was until\r\nhis return, but the shells were falling around the cart, which, in\r\nfact, seemed to be made a mark of by the Boer gunnersperhaps they\r\nthought it belonged to one of our generals, whom they may have\r\nimagined had taken to driving, like Joubert and some others of theirs.\r\nThe arrival of the wounded man was a great godsend to the driver, who\r\nimmediately, with the most humane insistence, offered to drive him to\r\nthe nearest field hospital. Neither cart nor driver was again seen\r\nuntil long after the battle was over, about nine o'clock in the\r\nevening. Strange to say, the man recovered from his wound.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 21661 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Lynch, George \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 1, 2007 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Lynch, George,1868-1928 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217975869597,"sku":"gb-21661-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/21661.jpg?v=1671461174"},{"product_id":"qing-xiang-za-ji-gb-23834","title":"Qing Xiang Za Ji","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e青箱雜記\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n         You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of\n        any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the\n        electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of\n        receipt of the work.\n    \n\n1.F.3.
