Note 215 — Chapter IV · THE SATIRIC GROUP
Reading edition
Cf. Letters from a Chinese Official, being an Eastern View of Western Civilization by G. Lowes Dickinson. New York, McClure, Phillips & Co., MCMIII. Mr. Dickinson’s book is an exceedingly interesting and timely criticism of Western civilization, and an instance of the vitality of the pseudo-letter genre, when the author has something to say. Cf. Mr. William Jennings Bryan’s reply: Letters to a Chinese Official, being a Western View of Eastern Civilization. New York, McClure, Phillips & Co., MCMVI.
