Originally published in 1887, this early work by American missionary Hampden Coit DuBose is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains a wealth of information on the religions of China. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for those interested in Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and eastern mythology.

We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
