A Chinese Quaker

Nellie Blessing Eyster

4.9/5 (26330 ratings)

Description:From the Foreword: Nearly 20 years ago the writer published a short sketch giving a true record of her experiences with a 10-year-old Chinese boy in California. The article attracted the attention of the poet, John Greenleaf Whittier, who wrote to the author saying that if the article was not coloured by her fancy, he hoped that she would be permitted to watch the development of a character which he thought unique and of rare spirituality, emanating as it did from a race seemingly so materialistic as the Chinese.Mr. Whittier's hope has, in a measure, been realized. The events recorded in this volume are substantially true. The letters of the Chinese hero, Sing, and also those of Mr. Whittier himself, are as nearly verbatim as is consistent with needful elisions and condensations; indeed, some of the more important of the letters and parts of the dialogue are rendered word for word.In justice to the literal facts as well as to the characters that are portrayed, the author feels bound to say, however, that fiction is employed as a necessary factor in welding the narrative as well as in rendering effective the essential truth. For obvious reasons likewise, some secondary characters are fictitious.The book is not a mere chronicle or biographical sketch, but a picture of certain phases of Chinese life on the Pacific coast, of large moral importance to the American people. Among other things it reveals some social conditions, especially the horror of the enslavement of Chinese women in our own land together with movements for the rescue.N.B.E.San FranciscoWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
