Farmers of Forty Centuries, or Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea and Japan

Abstract

THIS volume is unhappily the last we shall get from the pen of Prof. King, for his lamented death took place just as the book was going to the press. It contains an account of the agriculture of China, Korea, and Japan, written during his travels, and illuminated by many discussions and explanations that we had learnt to expect from his ripe experience and sound judgment.

Farmers of Forty Centuries, or Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea and Japan.

By Dr. F. H. King. Pp. ix + 441. (Madison, Wis.: Mrs. F. H. King, 1911.) Price 2.50 dollars.
