FORE WO R D 
 
 During recent years the American public has 
 shown a rapidly growing interest in China and 
 in the study of Chinese subjects. Books on 
 China have accordingly been multiplied in their 
 number. The present list is published with a 
 view to assisting those who wish to be acquainted 
 with China in selecting sources of information 
 and discussion on China’s historical and cultural 
 background as well as on her present conditions. 
 Since it is not primarily intended for students 
 undertaking thorough researches in the field, it 
 is limited to publications in English which are 
 of a general interest and which are easily avail- 
 able in libraries and from publishers. We also 
 think that a relatively brief list like this is for 
 our purpose more serviceable than a longer one. 
 In selecting the books, especially those on China’s 
 foreign relations, we have endeavored to have 
 more than a single point of view represented. 
 
“The zvorld’s peace rests with China, and 
 zvhocvcr understands China socially, 
 politically, economically, religiously, holds 
 the key to world politics during the next 
 five centuries .” — John Hay.
