The Eternal Priestess: A Novel of China Manners.

1914169106London.: Methuen & Co Ltd. 1st UK Edition. 1914. 404pp 31 3 publisher's catalogues Strikingly decorated blue cloth covers lettered in gilt head of spine has a closed tear that has been reinforced small puncture hole to the gutter on the front board prior owner name in pencil on the front free endpaper but a very attractive copy of the first edition. The author states in the prologue that the people living in these pages are not real but they are essential parts of a picture painted to portray facts - that is the impact of the East upon the West the disarray which collisions bring and the ensuing irony. At first glance this novel may appear unremarkable however it is of considerable interest in the 20th century history of Chinese-European relations as it includes on page 26 what is believed to be the earliest published reference to the infamous sign in Shanghai's Public Garden which purportedly stated "Dogs and Chinese not Admitted". The sign has now been conclusively shown not to have stated this however references to the racist wording still appear to this day and the reporting of its existence has caused and continues to cause a great deal of ill feeling. Reginald Johnston former tutor to Pu Yi the last emperor of China wrote in a 1927 pamphlet issued by the Tianjin British Committee of Information that the anti-Chinese wording "it is a kind of slander which takes a lot of killing and survives even the most authoritative denials". Shanghai's Dogs and Chinese Not Admitted" Sign: Legend History and Contemporary Symbol - Robert A. Bickers and Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom. The China Quarterly No 142. June 1995. Putnam Weale was the name under which Bertram Lenox Simpson 1877- 1930 wrote many books about China. Born in England Bertram Simpson followed his father into the Chinese Maritime Customs Service leaving the service in 1901. He wrote a great deal about China in the years that followed and became deeply involved in Chinese politics. He was murdered in 1930 and it seems quite likely that his murder was of a political nature though neither motive nor killer was ever found. . Methuen & Co Ltd. hardcover
