The Chinese Recorder, referring (in 1994) to the} amazing kotivity of these pablishing - honses, stated that it was equally by the avidity with which the new intellectual pabulum was being similated by the masses of the people. In addi- tion to the business of the native presses an im mense quanity of becks come from Japan, but these, as a rule, are written in a style of Chinese which does not compare favourably with the work of native writers and translators. Finally, there are the educational scoiations, the Difusian Society, and other masionary agencies with a long list of translations of standard worky which command a wide range of readers. Jn 1804 thers were over 100 non-Christian educational works for me in Shanghiš, olaasi- feil as follows:
On education, 60 volumes; history, 90; go graply, 10; politeal encomy aut the art of government, 110; malbematics and moobauios; 130 philosophy 40; philology. 50; hygiens, 79; military science, 120; Titerntare, 100 novele 30, &e.
Many of these works are wofully inaccurate and orndo; nevertheless, the effect of all this mass of writing on subjects hitherto generally undreamt of in Chiness philosophy cannot fail to he far-reaching.

Mr. Darroob, an observer in close touch and sympathy with the movement, reports (1966) that of one of the Commercial Press's text books 355,000 had been printed; of another 158,000 copies were sold in 18 months.
