Pàgina 561 - How a small Tartar tribe succeeded after fifty years of war in imposing its yoke on the sceptical, freedom-loving, and intensely national millions of China will always remain one of the enigmas of history. We have traced the course of these campaigns, but even while venturing to indicate some of the causes of their success, we must still come to the conclusion that the result hts exceeded what would at any time during the struggle have been thought to be credible.
Pàgina 259 - But he may only have been a misguided enthusiast when he declared that "the State should take the entire management of commerce, industry, and agriculture into its own hands, with the view of succouring the working classes, and preventing their being ground to the dust by the rich.
Pàgina 588 - Do they think at the Court that I am so blind as not to see the motive in this order of summons ? I shall, indeed, present myself there if you continue to press me, but it will be at the head of twice forty thousand men. You may go on before, but I hope to follow you very shortly with such a force as will speedily remind those in power of the debt they owe me.
Pàgina 360 - THE personal appearance of the Great Kaan, Lord of Lords, whose name is Cublay, is such as I shall now tell you. He is of a good stature, neither tall nor short, but of a middle height.

Pàgina 476 - ... more promising relations had been formed between the two peoples. Both nations were keen in the pursuit of trade, and a very considerable commerce sprang up. But these commercial intercourses also caused much trouble between them. In 1552 a more serious campaign was undertaken by the Japanese, who effected a landing in Chekiang, pillaged the country round Taichow, and maintained themselves in a fortified position for twelve months against all the attacks of the Chinese.

But great as is the reputation Genghis has acquired it is probably short of his merits. He is remembered as a relentless and irresistible conqueror, a human scourge...
Pàgina 652 - Kiachta, on the frontier of the Khalka country. I permit you to reside here and at Canton as long as you give no cause for complaint, but if any should arise I will not allow you to remain either here or at Canton.
