Society in China.

This article presents brief information about the book "Society in China," by K. Douglas. This book, by the keeper of the Oriental books and manuscripts in the British Museum and Professor of Chinese at King's College, naturally provokes comparison with another book, on the same general subject. China is governed, both socially and politically, by the literati or mandarins, and for these gentry Douglas has no good word to say. He considers them the most bigoted wretches on the face of the earth.
