Four Hundred Millions: Chapters On China And The Chinese is a book written by Arthur Evans Moule and published in 1871. The book is a comprehensive account of the author's experiences and observations during his time in China, where he served as a missionary. The title refers to the estimated population of China at the time of writing.The book is divided into chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of Chinese culture, society, and history. Moule discusses topics such as the Chinese language, literature, religion, and government. He also provides insights into the daily lives of the Chinese people, including their customs, food, and clothing.One of the most interesting aspects of the book is Moule's observations on the relationship between China and the Western world. He notes the tensions and misunderstandings that existed between the two cultures, and provides a unique perspective on the challenges faced by Westerners trying to understand and interact with the Chinese.Overall, Four Hundred Millions is a fascinating and insightful look into China and its people during the 19th century. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in Chinese history and culture, as well as those interested in the history of Western interactions with China.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
