Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Glimpses of the Orient, or the Manners, Customs, Life and History of the People of China, Japan and Corea, the Philippine, Caroline and Ladrone Islands: With an Account of American Naval and Military Operations in the Philippines
One of the results of the war between the United States and Spain has been to arouse the liveliest curiosity regarding the na tions of the East.
What ideas the general public had regarding the Flowery Kingdom, the Land of the Mikado and the Hermit Nation were very shadowy. Of the Philippines, they knew still less. The thunder of Admiral Dewey's guns on that fateful May morn ing woke, not only the echoes of Manila Bay, but the American people to a pardonable curiosity regarding these rich and fertile islands - peopled for the most part by wild, fierce tribes - which have been under the domination of Spain for upwards of three centuries. An intelligent curiosity is often a rich endowment, and in no way can a laudable spirit of inquiry be so legitimately gratified, as by a study of the history of remote countries; such as is presented in this work.
Commerce and religion, alike, prompt us to regard all men as brethren. The whole world is becoming knit together into one great family. Electricity brings to us daily, and with the rapidity of thought - news from all lands.
