The Flight Of The Lapwing is a book written by Henry Noel Shore, a naval officer who served in China, Formosa, and Japan during the late 19th century. The book is a collection of his personal jottings and observations during his time in the Far East. The book provides a unique perspective on the social and cultural aspects of life in these countries during that period. Shore describes his experiences in detail, including his interactions with local people, his travels, and his duties as a naval officer. The Flight Of The Lapwing also sheds light on the political climate of the time, as Shore witnessed firsthand the tensions between Western powers and China, as well as the growing influence of Japan in the region. Overall, The Flight Of The Lapwing is a fascinating account of a naval officer's experiences in the Far East during a time of significant political and social change. It provides valuable insights into the cultures and customs of China, Formosa, and Japan, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
