Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in History Economics and Public Law, Vol. 50: Edited by the Faculty of Political Science of Columbia University The chapters which are herein presented, with the exception of the concluding one, were originally in tended to form an introductory part of a treatise on alien claims against China, which is still in the course of preparation. After they were written, however, it was found that they constituted, both as to the substance which they embodied and as to the arrangement of the topics which they included, a fairly complete whole in themselves. It was therefore decided, with the concur rence of a number of professors in the Faculty of Polit ical Science at Columbia University, that they might advantageously be left to stand in a separate form by themselves; hence the appearance of the present volume.
