China Revolutionized
China Revolutionized, published in 1913, is John Stuart Thomson's attempt to describe the country that had just overthrown its monarchy. The opening chapter narrates the revolution from the rising of October 1911 to Yuan Shih-kai's acceptance of the presidency; the thirty that follow survey wit and humor, industry and commerce, finance, railways, shipping, the native leaders, international and internal politics, the Manchus, the army, education, literature and language, the foreign and native cities, religion and missions, law and crime, daily life, climate and disease, women, agriculture, architecture and art. Thomson, who had written on China before, gathers statistics, anecdotes and travel notes with an eye to American readers and American business.
