A proper appreciation of Peking is not, I believe, in the power of a Westerner to give--certainly not of one single person--since it presupposes a thorough knowledge of China's past, and infinite sympathy with Chinese character and religions, an intimate familiarity with the proverbs and household phrases of the poor, the songs of the streets, the speech of the workshop, no less than the mentality of the literati and the motives of the rulers. -- Preface.
