"A Mentor Superb.
. It is not an exaggeration to say that the "China Year Book" is one of the most remarkable produc- tions of its kind in the world.. .... No-one who pretends to desire to discuss or study affairs in China can afford to do with- out this book."-North-China Daily News.
The "China Year Book" as it is presented to-day, is a volume that no newspaper, commercial, government, in fact any office can do without"--China Presa."
"There is no single work containing auch a mass of varied and most useful information on things Chiness as the "China Year Book." Similar publications exist in many other countries, but few can compare with, and none excels, the latest issue of the work."-Finance & Commerce.
