PREFATORY NOTE
This List deals with the later conditions in the Far East. The political and economic aspects are the special subjects dealt with. For convenience of consultation the titles are arranged under the following subdivisions: Russia; History, politics, etc.; Russian expansion; Trans-Siberian railroad; Tibet; Manchuria; Japan; Korea; Russo-Japanese relations; Far East: American relations; Far East: European relations; Anglo-Russian relations; and China.
History of Russia.—A compendium of Russian history is Morfill's A history of Russia from the birth of Peter the Great to Nicholas II.
Rambaud's The history of Russia
is a work of greater extent, the later editions bring the history down to 1904. In Wallace's Russia
the history stops at 1877.
Recent works in English on the internal affairs of Russia are Brüggen's Russia of to-day;
Drage's Russian affairs;
Latimer's Russia and Turkey in the nineteenth century;
Leroy-Beaulieu's The empire of the tsars and the Russians;
Palmer's Russian life in town and country;
and Schierbrand's Russia, her strength and her weakness.
The volumes issued by the Russian government in connection with the World's Columbian exposition contain much statistical information. Works in foreign languages to be specially noted are: Anspach's La Russie économique et l'œuvre de M. de Witte;
Brüggen's Das heutige Russland;
Danielson's Histoire du développement économique de la Russie depuis l'affranchissement des serfs;
Delage's Chez les Russes;
Deschamps's La Russie au 20me siècle;
Kovalevskiĭ's La Russie à la fin du 19e siècle;
Kupchanko's Russland in Zahlen;
Machat's Le développement économique de la Russie;
Niet's La Russie d'aujourd'hui
and Strannik's La pensée russe contemporaine.
Russian navy.—Clarke's Russia's sea-power, past and present; or, The rise of the Russian navy
and Jane's The imperial Russian navy; its past, present, and future.
Russian expansion.—Rambaud's The expansion of Russia
is a valuable economic study. Skrine's The expansion of Russia, 1815-1900
is a sympathetic record down to 1900; Norman's All the Russias
inclines to look with favor on Russian policies; Beveridge's The Russian advance
is the result of a study of conditions made in a visit in 1901 and is commendatory of Russia; Chirol's The middle eastern question
considers phases of Russian expansion with special regard to Russian relations with Afghanistan, Persia and Tibet, and to the position of the Indian empire; Gerrare's Greater Russia
is written with the object of conveying an adequate idea of Russia's advance: her industrial progress, commercial prospects, the openings presented for both capital and labour, the markets closed to foreign enterprise.
G. Frederick Wright in his work entitled Asiatic Russia
holds that except in the case of the United States, no other nation of the world has before it the clear field for expansion that Russia has in her Asiatic possessions, and no other nation has more completely at her command the material and moral resources of modern science and Christian civilization than she has, if she but continues to use them rightly.
Krahmer's Russland in Asien
is a detailed history in six volumes, of which a single volume is devoted to a special phase of Russian activities in the Far East.
Trans-Siberian railway.—There are numerous travellers' accounts including Cary's The Trans-Siberian route; or, Notes of a journey from Pekin to New York in 1902;
Lynch's The path of empire;
Shoemaker's The great Siberian railway from St. Petersburg to Pekin;
Simpson's Side-lights on Siberia. Some accounts of the great Siberian railroad, the prisons and the exile systems;
Vladimir's Russia on the Pacific, and the Siberian railway
and others in the articles in periodicals noted on pp. 19-21 of this List. The sumptuous volume printed by the Russian Ministry of ways of communication, printed in English under the title Guide to the Great Siberian railway
is to be specially noted. The account published by the United States Bureau of statistics in its Monthly summary of commerce and finance, April, 1899, contains valuable material.
Manchuria.—Hosie's Manchuria: its people, resources and history
is a good first hand authority. Whigham's Manchuria and Korea
is a study of political and economic conditions as well as descriptive.
History of Japan.—Recent works are Brinkley's Japan; its history, arts and literature;
Diósy's The new Far East;
Griffis's The Mikado's empire. 10th ed., including history to beginning of 1903;
Gulick's Evolution of the Japanese, social and psychic;
Koch's Japan. Geschichte nach japanischen Quellen und ethnographischen Skizzen;
Murray's The story of Japan
and Ransome's Japan in transition.
A history of Japan in restricted compass is given in the second volume of Helmolt's The world's history, a survey of man's record.
The recent descriptive works are:—Brinkley's Japan; its history, arts and literature
and the volume he has edited entitled Japan; described and illustrated by the Japanese; written by eminent Japanese authorities and scholars;
Browne's Japan; the place and the people;
Brownell's The heart of Japan;
Chamberlain's Things Japanese
and the guide written with W. B. Mason entitled A handbook for travellers in Japan;
Dumolard's Le Japon politique, économique, et social
; Scherer's Japan today;
Singleton's Japan as seen and described by famous writers;
Sladen's Queer things about Japan;
Gilbert Watson's Three rolling stones in Japan
and W. Petrie Watson's Japan; aspects & destinies.
The Japanese navy.—F. T. Jane's The imperial Japanese navy
is similar in scope to his book on the Russian navy and is of likewise timely value.
Japanese art is treated in Anderson's The pictorial arts of Japan;
Brinkley's The art of Japan
and his Japan; described and illustrated by the Japanese; written by eminent Japanese authorities and scholars; with an essay on Japanese art by Kaluzo Okakura;
Okakura's The ideals of the East, with special reference to the art of Japan;
and Rein's The industries of Japan. Together with an account of its agriculture, forestry, arts, and commerce.
Korea.—Hamilton's Korea
is to be noted as a comprehensive account giving results of recent observations. Underwood's Fifteen years among the top-knots; or, Life in Korea
gives a picture of missionary life in Korea.
The literature consisting of magazine articles on the present war is noted under the heading Russo-Japanese relations on pp. 40-48 of this List.
A selection of titles relating to the political interests of the United States in the Far East is given on pp. 49-52 of this List. It includes some works dealing with the first appearance of Americans in Asiatic countries and the history of their participation in Far Eastern affairs. In the section devoted to Anglo-Russian relations are noted works dealing with the Russian advance in Central Asia and its effects upon English interests.
History of China.—An extensive work is Boulger's The history of China,
first published in 1881-1884, and revised editions in 1898 and 1900, respectively. Its chief value lies in its detailed account of European progress in China subsequent to the signing of the treaty of Nankin in 1842, including the Taeping rebellion in all its phases and Gordon's campaign.
The earlier part of his history is drawn mainly from the Jesuit epitomes of the Chinese annalists. The new edition of his Short History
has an additional chapter, written by another hand, giving a summary account of the reign of Kwang Su, covering the capture of Pekin.
Douglas's China
, forming a volume of the Story of the nations series
gives all that the general reader needs. In Macgowan's A history of China from the earliest days down to the present
recourse has been had to the original authorities. It is not a compilation gathered from all sources, but a reproduction from the original of the Standard History of China.
Williams's The middle kingdom
first published in 1848, constituted for a long time the principal source of information for English readers, and in its revised form is still regarded as a classic. Brinkley's "China; its history,
