_The Imperial History of China_, by Rev. J. Macgowan.

A short and compact work on a subject which has not been successfully
handled.

16. _Indiscreet Letters from Peking_, by B. Putnam Weale.

Though too outspoken to meet with general approbation, this work is
considered by many to give the most faithful account of the Siege of the
Legations, as seen by an independent witness.

17. _Buddhism as a Religion_, by H. Hackmann, Lic. Theol.

A very useful volume, translated from the German, showing the various
developments of Buddhism in different parts of the world.

18. _Chuang Tzu_, by H. A. Giles.

A complete translation of the writings of the leading Taoist
philosopher, who flourished in the fourth and third centuries B.C.
