In a Mule Litter to the Tomb of Confucius

Excerpt from In a Mule Litter to the Tomb of ConfuciusBefore setting out on a journey, the intending traveller is often loaded with warnings and advice by those who have, or are supposed to have, some experience. Let me warn my readers, before they set out, that they must not expect anything thrilling. I had no hair-breadth escapes, nor was I privileged to snatch any one from imminent death. Still, those who accompany me with eyes and ears open in this strange land may see and hear things that will go far to repay them for their trouble.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
