European Settlements in the Far East: China, Japan, Corea, Indo-China, Straits Settlements, Malay States, Siam, Netherlands, India, Borneo, the Philippines, Etc (Classic Reprint) by D Warres Smith (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from European Settlements in the Far East: China, Japan, Corea, Indo-China, Straits Settlements, Malay States, Siam, Netherlands, India, Borneo, the Philippines, Etc The frequent occurrence in the Press, on both sides of the Atlantic, of the phrases Spheres of Influence and The Open Door;the great prominence given to the Far East, both politically and commercially, and the important part it seems destined to play in European politics in the near future, lead the compiler to believe that this brief account of the European Settlements in the Far East will t be without interest to the political student, the merchant, and the public generally. It is also hoped that it will be of value to the ever-increasing army of travellers as a guide-book to many places which, although they lie out of the ordinary route, will well repay a visit.
