As a Chinaman Saw Us

Selected from a series of letters written to a friend in China between 1892 and 1902, the observations contained within this 1904 work showcase an anonymous Chinaman's observations of American manners and mores. This is not a description of a physical journey, but rather a commentary on the people in New York, New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and Chicago, seen through the lens Chinese culture and social mores.
