It will be interesting to anyone who wants to see descriptions of each province, the shape and names of locations (in English), descriptions of the &#8220;character&#8221; of the &#8220;racial types&#8221; of each province, short descriptions of major cities, details of roads and railways as of &#8217;35, industry, and even how many protestant\/catholic missions there are.  There is a separate section for \u6eff\u5dde\u570b and the foreign settlements in Shanghai, as well as a few interesting paragraphs on the &#8220;peculiar&#8221; status of Tibet (interesting to note that there is nothing on the &#8220;peculiar&#8221; status of Manchuria, or of Mongolia at the time) and after discussing Soviet influence concludes that Xinjiang &#8220;faces West rather than East.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Library Download Page: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.froginawell.net\/wenku\/?q=node\/2\">The China Provincial Atlas and Geography<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This posting is the first of what I hope will become a more frequent kind of offering here at Frog in a Well.
