This volume places before the English reader the best description of the Southern French colonies in the Far East that has yet appeared."SHANGHAI MERCURT."

Many of us in the Far East have read books ou Tonkin, ancient and modern, bat a knowledge of things as they are there to-day, of what has been accomplished under M. Doumer's administration is far from common. The author has written what he set out to do, a very readable and accurate sketch of the colony as it is at present.... Altogether, this is a book to read."--" BANGKOK TIMES."
