Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Far Eastern Tropics In 1901 was appointed Colonial Commissioner of the University of Chicago for the purpose of visiting the Far East and preparing a comprehensive report on colonial administration in Southeastern Asia. The report is now in course of preparation and will be issued in ten or twelve volumes by Messrs. Small, Maynard & Co., Cambridge, Mass., during the nest four years. The present volume is made up of two series of articles written during my absence in the Far East. One series appeared in "The Times" (London), the other in "The Outlook" (New York); and they make, in the form in which they are now issued, a group of studies, on various phases of British, American, French, and Dutch colonial administration and policy. Of the limitations of these studies no one can be more conscious than myself; but I am not without hope that, in the great scarcity of books in the English language on the subject of comparative colonization, students of political science may discover in them something of interest.
