M. Review of Fir flower tablets. In : The journal of the Royal Asiatic Society North China ; vol. 1 (1919).
In many ways Florence Ayscough is a pioneer, and this idea of hers to extract all she can, and more than others thought they sould, may be justified in the end. The character invites such a method as the one suggested. Of course the Chinese protests vigorously against such a treatment. Itself eing under rigid rules, and governed by inexorable laws it seems to object at every port at the idea often being carried too many feet, or being left as short measure. At present we are neutral and stand by to wait and see.
