Excerpt from Guide to Tientsin

We have been induced to publish the following Guide to Tientsin, owing to frequent requests to do so. Visitors to Tientsin are invariably agreeably surprised,' to find the town so much bigger, and more important than is generally believed, and that it is not, as has been commonly supposed, a mere rest station for intending visitors to the Capital. As will be learned by a perusal of the following modest work, our town has many points of interest to visitors.

Our readers will observe a map, of the Foreign Concessions and the, Chinese City, showing the position of the allied troops on the 18th July, 1900, when capturing the native city. Tientsin Native City is particularly worth visiting as it is run on lines showing a liberal appreciation of foreign methods, which is not to be found in any other Chinese town. These foreign innovations were started by the International Government which took over the charge of the city after the operations in 1900, under the style of The Tientsin Provisional Government. The work this excellent body did, has been carried on unabated, by that enlightened official, he. Viceroy Yuan Shih Kai, who is the head official of this province.
