Page:L. Richard's ... Comprehensive geography of the Chinese empire and dependencies ... translated into English, revised and enlarged (IA lrichardscompreh00rich).pdf/11

Rh re-shaping of the country cannot but interest the Great Nations of the world. Richard's Comprehensive Geography will help much to make China and the Chinese people better known. Should it also promote mutual friendship between East and West, it will have fulfilled a great need, and we hope be welcomed by all classes of Readers.

Corrections and suggestions will be thankfully received by the Translator, who expresses his many obligations to his friends for their valuable assistance and encouragement in the completion of this work.
