Hardcover. Condición: As New. The author, Colonel Murray, gives us a most interesting account of a journey which he made to Tokio, travelling there by way of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, Colombo, Singapore, Hong-K ong, and Shanghai, and returning to England via Vancouver, Quebec, and Halifax. He had thus the opportunity of visiting nearly all the important places and great strategic centres over which, in two hemispheres, the Union Jack waves. Colonel Murray, during the course of his tour, set himself the task of making, on the spot, careful inquiry into the existing conditions strategical, political, and commercial of the various colonies visited by him. He fairly states facts, and he draws reasonable deductions from them.
