Excerpt from The French in Tonkin, and South China The following pages are the results of a visit to Tonkin with a camera in Spring, 1902, and of observations made by the writer as a journalist resident in Hongkong. Some readers may consider that too much importance has been attached to the ambitions of our neighbours, who, it is alleged, are largely influenced by sentiment, and that the undertakings of Monsieur Doumer have been given unnecessary prominence and emphasis. Many of the figures quoted have been taken from M. Doumer's Report, others have been compiled from various reliable sources. The writer takes this opportunity of recording his thanks to the Authorities in Tonkin for their courtesy to him.
