"The Far East" is, as far as some three or four hundred pages permit, a complete account of the history of the Oriental Asiatic world in its relations with Western civilization, with an examination of the existing factors in the Far Eastern question, and a statement of the evidence bearing upon the subject.

The appendices to the book are particularly useful for reference, as they include a chronology of the history of the Far East, the text of the more important treaties and conventions, and furnish a bibliography of authorities on the Far East.

"L'ouvrage de M. Pierre Leroy-Beaulieu, 'La renovation de l'Asie (Siberie, Chine, j.a.pon),' a eu un grand succes. Les pages ou le jeune voyageur a juge avec tant de clairvoyance les pays d'Extreme-Orient, qu'il a etudies sur place, ont fait, uon seulement en France, mais a l'etranger, la plus vive impression. En trois mois la premiere edition de cet ouvrage a ete epuisee; la deuxieme vient de paraitre, avec une nouvelle preface, chez l'editeur Colin.... En meme temps, l'on en prepare une traduction anglaise et une traduction allemande."--_L'Economiste francais._

"M. Leroy-Beaulieu, in his interesting work, 'La renovation de l'Asie,' deals with the j.a.panese question at some length.

His book is doubly interesting because it is the first serious contribution to the discussion of the Far Eastern question by a French writer, and because, like Mr.

Colquhoun's book, it regards the Chinese problem not as an isolated fact, but as part of a vast evolution."
