About this book
The face of China is a book by E. G. Kemp. The list of coloured plates names, among others, a Tea-House in Old Shanghai and a portrait of the author as a Chinese "Female Traveling Scholar". A narrator says they were taken round the college by the principal, Dr. Pott, to whom is mainly due the great success it has achieved. The narrator says there are about 120 scholars, all of whom have to pass an entrance examination in English.
The narrator mentions restaurants with pretty bowls and natty cooking arrangements. The text says the British Government has agreed to reduce the import of opium from India, and to let it entirely cease by 1917, provided the Chinese Government shows her sincerity in putting down the traffic.
