London: Methuen & Co., 1914. Book. Illus. by 4 color plates and 12 in black/white. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. An author, missionary and academic in China from 1890 to circa 1914, his wife a physician to the Emperor Dowager and her royal family. He taught science at Peking University. Home Life draws heavily on his wife's knowledge of women and children and their very private home life, not easily visible to a Westerner at that time. And of course very different from China home life a century later. Original black cloth with bright gilt title on the front and spine. The back hinge cloth has split, but this has not affected the solidity of the hinge. Protected in a mylar dust jacket. Very clean and tight inside, with a hint of foxing on a few pages. Quite scarce and a bargain because of the unattractive rear cloth split. .
