"The author, who holds a brief for the Chinese, states his case with ability and with an appearance of justice. But by ignoring all that there is to be said to their detriment, and laying emphasis on the weak side of the Western position, he has drawn an unreal and misleading picture. He professes to be a Chinaman. This may be set aside. There is only one Chinaman who could write such a book, the present Chinese Minister at the Court of St. James, but it is not in his vein."—Athenæum, Nov. 30, 1901, p. 734.

"It is a great mistake to approach the Chinese in an insular and contemptuous frame of mind, and it is a relief to one who can not altogether forego his belief in a future for China to take up such a book as that by Arthur H. Smith, and to trace in 'Village Life in China' the sympathetic touch of the writer of 'Chinese Characteristics,' the most brilliant book ever written on that subject."
