Item description from seller

Ex-library. Original green cloth binding with gilt lettering on front board. Contains Forbes Library, Northampton MA, call number on spine, bookplate on verso pastedown, and checkout slip on rear recto pastedown. Corners are bumped and slightly exposed. Pages are free of markings other than library identification marks. The report followed the journey of Charles Eliot to China and Japan for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The endowment's, and Eliot's aims were to discover the ways the endowment and the U.S. might exercise its influence in Asia. The aims of the endowment were somewhat nebulous, but generally promoted the advancement of peace and goodwill, potentially through education, infrastructure, western medicine, and the regulation of the movement of labor. The report also investigates spheres of influence, the contemporary causes of war, and potential future causes of war in Asia. Eliot was present in China just following the Republican revolution of 1912, and the author notes the changes that occur immediately following the end of the Qing government. The report emphasizes the possibility of traveling fellowships for Chinese graduates, protestant missions in China, and the value of Chinese markets. The report then addresses the relations between Japan and the U.S., Japanese education and belief systems, medicine in Japan, and Japan's aims internationally and domestically. Hardcover, good condition. 88 pages, octavo.
