repossess the region and then arrange a lease with China. On page 156 Mr. Greenbie has the Taiping Rebellion beginning in 1843 and lasting for sixteen years which would bring it to an end in 1859. If this were correct, it would have the rebellion finished before the two western heroes of the conflict, Frederick Townsend Ward and "Chinese Gordon," had had a chance to take a hand in ending it. The correct period is from 1850 to 1864. Despite these errors the fundamental message of the book should not be forgotten. The American public should avail themselves of every opportunity to become better informed about the peoples of Asia who represent more than half of the population of the world. The success of any peace settlement in the Far East inevitably depends on a sympathetic and intelligent attitude of the people of the West. University of Miami PAUL E. ECKEL
