"When this book was first published in 1903, it was the only comprehensive study of Taiwan in the English language. The author, who served as a war correspondent with the Japanese army during the takeover of Taiwan in 1895, was later appointed United States Consul for Taiwan. Over a period of eight years he devoted much of his time to research for the book. This study, still not surpassed as a source of information on the history and ethnography of Taiwan, traces the history of Taiwan from the beginning of Dutch rule in 1514 to the early twentieth century. The author describes natural resources, trade, and industry, as well as the people, their dialects, and bird and animal life. The volume contains many rare photographs and other illustrations, some in color" (jacket).…
