These lectures were delivered at the Young Men's Christian Association in Hong Kong in the spring of 1906. In short lectures of this kind there must be much condensation on many points and many omissions. The aim has been to try and present a short account of what these different systems in China have been, and are, so as to enable those who have not the time or opportunity to delve deeper to gain some knowledge of these marvelous and wonderful schemes of philosophy, atheism, idolatry and self-righteousness, combined with nicer traits of character and gentler sides of human nature and with occasional lovely touches - all mixed up in China at the present day with the grossest superstitions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
