Tackling the vory

Books dealing with early China, its history, politics, sociology, cus- toine, together with novels were all mentioned by the speaker, whose conclusions regarding the various literary contributions in connexion with the country and its people added much to the In- terest if the paper. Concluding his paper, Professor Middleton Smith Ank:

After he had gone Into China the speaker said that he rather modi- fed the impressions he had gathered. Books

The net result of his conclusions were that "Chinese Characteris ties" left a rather Imperfect im. pression on his mind. No matter how good a book was it would al ways be a one-sided view. The! speaker commented that when writers of different nations all agreed on any particular point then that point could be accepted with safety.

The Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn said that Father Byrne's remark about the danger of paying too much attention to what has been written on China by foreigners wing to the fact that they might look at China with preconceived ideas inspired him to bring up his experience with that very
