H. Smith, one of the ablest writers upon China, created a desire in the minds of those engaged in promoting similar study on this side of the Atlantic to obtain this textbook for use in Great Britain.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time a variety of reasons made a separate British edition desirable. It was obvious that in certain places, especially where comparisons were made between the East and the West, the author had American readers more particularly in view, and emphasis was sometimes laid upon methods and incidents which would be of more interest to students in America than to those in this country&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Uplift of China was produced in various denominational editions.
