Synopsis
Excerpt from China, Present and Past: Foreign Intercourse, Progress and Resources; The Missionary Question, Etc
A general impression seems to prevail that there will be a great forward movement, in China, as a consequence of the present war. The lesson which was only half learned in 1858, because She attributed her defeat to the superiority, solely, of foreign weapons, and which was obscured, in 1885, by the inconclusive results of the fighting in Formosa and Tongking - is being driven home, now, by her Obvious inability to make head against a country whose extent and resources she knows to be incom parably less than her own. Rightly or wrongly, moreover, Japan is credited with a determination that the lesson Shall reach home; that the pre tensions which Western Powers have been willing to demolish gradually, by the logic of experience and fact, Shall be swept finally into the limbo of the past to which they belong, and that China Shall be brought to range herself alongside Japan in the path of reorganization and reform.
