"......Le champ d'observation de notre neaven confrére est si raste que, nous croyons que la copie de lui manquera pas, et nous lui souhaitons tent le succes desirable."-- Eche de Chine, 20th September, 1905,-
.Everyone is bound to appreciato certainly a heterogenous collection of the departure from the stereotyped canons wit and wisdom, but it is the ideal of which this magazine promises ...its For Eastern magazine, for it will pages are bright without being shocking sober the over-spirited or brighten the Ils articles are crisp, original, and well gloomy, just as the spirit mores the writton, its illustrations are artistic and reader..... Taken all altogether. THE enhance the value of the journal...... COSMOPOLITAN is brightly written, Hongkong Daily Press, 27th October, up-to-date, and entirely interesting......
-Hongkong Telegraph, 29th September, 1905.
The praise which wo gave to the first 1905. number of cho COSMOPOLITAN may honestly be repeated in reference to the second number......... There is some thing very attractive in the unity which pervades the megazine through its being a one-man affair, and that one man being such an acto student of passing events and wielding snel a vigorous pen."-NC. Daily News, 30th October, 1905,
The many articles are well and brightly written..... there should be little doubt of
"Shangkui Times, | Success... 20th September, 1:05.
Though the language of the staff is not English, the English of THE COSMOPOLITAN, idiomatically and gram. matically, is irreproachable."-- China Gazette, 22nd September, 1905.
Benso
guite a new feature in Far Eastern journalist... the quality of the letterpress is well worth the hand- some gotting. We have found a good deal of sound common fa articles as well as no little fan and humour....matters calculated to interest Chinese Treaty ports, but in Japan"- not only the foreigner in Shanghai and Japan Chronicle, 12th October, 1905.
*... It is a very promising publication. The pictures are excellent 16 WOD. Among these are The Art of dere how it is to be preduced month after Enting a witty anil observant dis-month."-Japan Daily Mai, 13th Octo course on modern table manners...It is ber, 1905,
