Excerpt from Modernizing of the Orient The East has at last met the West face to face. What has been the character of that meeting? What have been the results of the mingling of these two opposite and distinct sets of people with their antipodal points of view and methods? Is the East becoming West? What is happening? These have been the writer's questions upon two journeys around the world in which many unusual privileges have been afforded for first-hand contact with a large variety of institutions and native populations. It is hoped that what is here set forth may be the means of inducing clearer ideas and further study concerning those people who embrace more than one-half the population of the globe, and who, for obvious reasons, are now becoming the center of international, commercial and racial interests.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Key to the Orient Works there are indeed, and by the greatest scholars, on the Oriental Relig ions; and others, though very few, of the history of oriental lands; and books of oriental travels describing the general aspect of the countries, the outside of the houses, the scenes in the streets, but leav ing the inside life, the real thought and feeling of the people, dark. But our people are not interested. The resignation and charmed calm of the Orient are too unlike the restless dis content and perpetual motion of the Occident. The West does not understand the East, and does not wish or try to understand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Recovery of the Ancient Orient By your kind and flattering invita tion am I come, and by my own choice am I to speak of the only sub ject to which I may claim to have right of public utterance. The field of human knowledge has sensibly wid ened since those large days in 1776, when some of our forebears fought to found a new commonwealth, while others, even amid rumors of war in the distracted colonies, dared to meet and found a learned society.1 They were men who might hope to compass the field of learning as none may dare in these days, least of all one whose whole life has been given to a field circumscribed within narrow limits.

Excerpt from My Trip to the Orient There have been many books written on Egypt and Palestine, and in presenting this volume to the public, it might seem that there would be nothing of interest to add to what has been written. But times are rapidly chang ing, the Scriptures are being fulfilled, and as the Gentile age draws to a close, we find new conditions confronting us, facts con cerning which we have tried to present in a simple, clear and forcible manner.

Excerpt from A Child of the Orient On the morning of my fifth birthday, just as I awoke from sleep, my great-uncle came into my room, and, standing over my bed, said with a seriousness little befitting my age: - "To-day, despoinis, you are five years old. I wish you many happy returns of the day." He drew up a chair, and sat down by my bed. Carefully unfolding a piece of paper, he brought forth a small Greek flag. "Do you know what this is?" I nodded. "Do you know what it stands for?" Before I could think of an adequate reply, he leaned toward me and said earnestly, his fiery black eyes holding mine: - "It stands for the highest civilization the world has ever known. It stands for Greece, who has taught the world. Take it and make your prayers by it." I accepted it, and caressed it. Its silky texture pleased my touch.

Excerpt from The Five Jewels of the Orient And the soul sees its midnight uncheered by a ray; When the spirit droops low 'neath the weight of its doom, As the hopes that once lighted its halls die away; Then there shines through the windows of heaven afar Bright gleams that bring peace from a beautiful Star.

Excerpt from The Obvious Orient The world abounds in sketchy books upon the East, and the title chosen for this volume is the writer's admission that no one can learn all that there is in the most ancient and inscrutable of the continents in an eight months' experience. On the other hand, the Orient is so unlike the western world that it still has the stimulating effect of novelty and variety. It is astonishing how the books that one reads beforehand on the East fail to include the things which instantly come before the eyes the moment one lands in Asia; even the hasty traveller's record, therefore, adds something to the knowledge of the bewildering and picturesque detail of Oriental life. For this study of the East I have had some advantages in the way of previous investigation and reflection, and the friendship of former students and others now settled in the Orient. Americans in that part of the world never lose their nationality, and the travelling American finds himself welcomed to a partnership in their experiences.

Excerpt from Jewels From the Orient In such an atmosphere the girls of that school were interested to learn of Morrison and Carey and Judson and other Christian leaders, pioneers of foreign missions. It was not strange that many of the young women of that school, after graduation, were ready for foreign service, wherever there were open doors. Neither was it strange that in later years I should plan a world tour of missions, and look in upon schoolmates and relatives who were at work in Japan, China, Burma and India.

Excerpt from Civilization: Tales of the Orient He came out to Shanghai a generation ago, in those days when Shanghai was not as respectable as it is now - whatever that says to you. It was, of course, a great change from Home, and its crude pleasures and crude companions gave him somewhat of a shock. For he was of decent stock, with a certain sense of the fitness of things, and the beach-combers, adventurers, rough traders and general riffraff of the China Coast, gathered in Shanghai, did not offer him the society he desired. He was often obliged to associate with them, however, more or less, in a business way, for his humble position as minor clerk in a big corporation entailed certain responsibilities out of hours, and this responsibility he could not shirk, for fear of losing his position.

Excerpt from The Orient Express There are some things here set out, then, of which it has been a small sacrifice to write, even though many of them have been told before. Most of them were witnessed in the service of The Times in Persia and in Turkey, and a special acknowledgment must be made to my editor for his kind permission to make use of many articles contributed to its columns. For a similar courtesy I have to thank the editors of The Contemporary Review and The Edinburgh Review. The editors of The Daily Chronicle and The Manchester Guardian have also kindly allowed me to use some articles of an earlier date, written in Macedonia.
