The danger, be it noted, is not discernible in the dim and distant future, but actually stares us in the face. It is, I submit, the question of the hour! It is my hope that a. Perusal of the following modest pages will assist the reader to perceive the extent of the reefs, so to say, upon which the breakers are observable at no great distance ahead, looming through a fog of scepticism. I trust, also, it may be shown that this Far Eastern Question is one which may so develop as to vitally affect the commercial and political interests of the Home countries.

The result of my researches I now respectfully lay before the public, trusting in its indulgence and soliciting the favour of a patient hearing.
