Allingham, William. A diary. (London : Macmillan, 1908).
https://archive.org/details/williamallingham00alli. 2ndly, at Birmingham (the World's Toyshop) a large shop had no ' Chinese Tumblers.' … Then Swinburne came in, and soon began to recite — a parody on Browning was one thing ; and after him Whistler, who talked about his own pictures — Royal Academy — the Chinese painter-girl, Millais, etc… We walk about the Town and he shows much interest in the Furniture Brokers' shops, old china, pictures, etc… Go to see Chang the Chinese Giant, and meet Lord Houghton there, always friendly, invites me to come with him on Sunday to Westminster Abbey to hear funeral sermon on Palmerston... Southampton Exhibition. Pictures — 'Sir Joshua,' Hunt's ' Awakening Conscience,' Lear's ' Florence,' Lee's ' Caprera,' etc. Antiquities — Indian and Chinese things, etc, etc… He finds that none of Captain B.'s roses are exactly of the kind for him ; he wants the fresh-coloured loose- leaved China rose… C. and I get inside an omnibus. Passing the Chinese Embassy we saw a servant in yellow silk, and C. was reminded of the Learned Man in The Two Fair Cousins, a Chinese novel which he always had pleasure in recalling. He began telling the story, and spoke as usual of the Author ' as a Man of Genius of the dragon pattern.'… Carlyle, Sir James Stephen, and a quick-eyed, good-looking, semi-American old young man who talks very fluently and well on China and Japan… A Chinese novel, much praised by Carlyle. The only English translation oi lu-Kiao-Li is ' from the French version of M. Abel Remusat,' and was published in 1827 : it is now out of print. Allingham urged several publishers to bring out a new edition of the book (for which he wrote a preface), but without success. A copy of this rare book is in Mrs. Allingham's possession… As we emerge on the road a troop of the Life Guards passes. Portland Place, Chinese Embassy, two Yellow Dragon flags and the Union Jack between them, lifted a little higher… |

Baring, Maurice. Russian essays and stories. (London : Methuen, 1908).
https://archive.org/details/russianessayssto00bariiala. But there are goods of every variety ; second-hand books, tea and silks from China, gems from the Urals, and "art nouveau" furniture… It was Wednesday, the day of the bazaar. The bazaar in the village is the mart, where the buying and selling of meat, provisions, fruit, melons, fish, hardware, ironmongery, china, and books are conducted… We have neither the sublime and contented ignorance of the British, nor the Chinese Wall-like narrow-mindedness of the French, nor the complicated misapprehension of the Teutons… And whatever happens to the world, as long as men exist, it will be understood. It could be played in Chinese without losing one jot of its import or its message… Alexander Petrovitch had been fond of adventure, and had even taken part in foreign wars in Cuba, in Greece, and in China… Then there was a Chinaman, a real Chinaman with a big pigtail, who spun a pail of water on his finger… |
