By Jacob Abbott

Book Overview

""China and the English: Or The Character and Manners of the Chinese"" is a book written by Jacob Abbott that explores the culture, customs, and beliefs of the Chinese people. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Chinese life, including their social structure, religion, education, and government. Abbott draws on his own experiences as a missionary in China, as well as his extensive research, to provide an in-depth examination of Chinese society. He also compares and contrasts Chinese culture with that of the English, highlighting both similarities and differences. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into a world that was largely unknown to many Westerners at the time of its publication in 1845.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
