Excerpt from The Spirit of Chinese Philanthropy: A Study in Mutual Aid
The writing was begun before the change of govern ment in China took place. Some parts of the mono graph, touching the political organization of the country may not therefore exactly fit the new conditions, but as they are true representations of conditions that obtained in the immediate past and went far into a remote past, we have allowed them to stand, as first written.
