Excerpt from The Dragon; Image; and Demon: Or the Three Religions of ChinaDuring a visit to the United States in 1882; a lecture on the "Three Religion" was delivered in about 150 churches; and there were many requests for its publication. With further study the lecture has grown to its present size. Many of the best thoughts in this volume are obtained from the writings of Edkins; Eitel; Legge; and Beal; also from general works on China; missionary journals; and other sources; In every known ease quotation marks are used; but the "quotation marks" do not always indicate that the passage is taken from an English work; for they are also used for translations. The writer has drawn his water from native wells; the facts being mostly gathered from Chinese sources. The pen is not held by one seated in a professors study; but by a plain man; who daily walks to and fro among idolaters; and testifies of what he has seen and heard. Some may discover errors in the work; and doubtless they will; for it is a book of errors; and where truth has no touch-stone how can error be detected?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Transatlantic Slave Trade Book; " Captives as Commodites."By Daniel TThis book was in a good shape to read. The book is extremely recognizable to read and understand.Thanks.Daniel T2 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Arab Slavery?By TylerSources like this are crucial; but I find the fact that the Arab slave trade was larger and more lethal doesn't get enough mention. I think people across the world would do well to realize that the West has reformed from their lesser crimes more than the Arab world has for their greater ones.
