"Village Life in China - A Study in Sociology" is one of the author's
fascinating written accounts of his experiences living and travelling
China during the late 19th century, this particular volume focusing on
the subject of rural life in the country. He wrote this book while
living among the local population in small agricultural villages, noting
down his observations and compiling them into this insightful glimpse of
19th-century rural China. Arthur Henderson Smith (1845 - 1932) was a
missionary famous for spending 54 years doing missionary work in China.
He wrote many books about his time there, presenting China to many
foreign readers for the first time. Other notable works by this author
include: "Chinese Characteristics", and "The Uplift of China". Many
vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and
expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality
edition complete with the original text and artwork.
