The East of Today and Tomorrow is a book written by Henry Codman Potter and published in 1902. The book is a collection of essays that explore the political, social, and economic conditions of the East, particularly in China and Japan, during the early 20th century. Potter was an American bishop and a prominent figure in the Episcopal Church, and his book reflects his interest in the missionary work of the church in Asia. The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on China and the challenges it faced in the wake of the Boxer Rebellion. Potter discusses the political and economic reforms that were needed to modernize China and make it a more stable and prosperous country. He also explores the role of Christianity in China and the challenges faced by Christian missionaries in spreading their message.The second part of the book focuses on Japan and its rapid transformation from a feudal society to a modern industrial power. Potter discusses the challenges faced by Japan in its efforts to modernize and the role that the West played in this process. He also explores the cultural differences between Japan and the West and the challenges of reconciling these differences.The third and final part of the book is a series of essays on various topics related to the East, including the role of women in Asian societies, the influence of Buddhism on Asian culture, and the impact of imperialism on the region.Overall, The East of Today and Tomorrow provides a fascinating glimpse into the political, social, and cultural conditions of the East during a period of rapid change and transformation. Potter's insights and observations continue to be relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
