1 1926 Moore, Marianne. Roving through southern China. In : The Dial ; no. 81 (July 1926). [Review of Roving through southern China, by Harry A. Franck (Century)]. [ID D3164].
In this 'plain' account of people, of places, and of methods of travel in southern China – with many photographs – a seemingly experiences elasticity of judgment is, in matters not topical nor topographical, multifariously contradicted. The religious philosopher, the political scientist, the student of civilization would, in certain opinions diverge from this author : the 'littérateur' would not accompany him. Mr. Franck is scientific as a wanderer if not as a thinker or as a writer. His itinerary is impressive and he is, if one may have in one's feet a science which one has not in one's head, an accomplished traveler.
