Synopsis
Excerpt from The Golden Window of the East: Oriental Impressions
The matter of this volume is not built upon guide-books and itineraries. For these the author has little use, and has used them but little in his many wanderings.
The author's theory has been that the wanderer, before his start, should absorb in his memory all the information possible of the countries he is about to visit, keep his mind open for local impressions, see with his own eyes and make his own judgments.
All the following chapters were written on the spot, as the author moved from place to place, and while the local color was most vivid. His most abiding interest was in the human element: the ancient races of the Oriental home-land: and in the sharp contrasts in the social life of the East and West.
He hopes that some of this interest may be transmuted into the minds of those who are kind enough to read the volume.
