A second series of papers representing a season's study of the Literary Department of the American Woman's Club has been published recently under the title of "The Dawn of Chinese Civilization." This collection covers the work of the Department for the winter of 1921-22 and is a systematic study of Chinese history from legendary times to the end of the Period of the Three Kingdoms in 265 A.D. The final paper, it is true, consists of a cursory survey of the Dark Ages from 265-618 A.D. but, both because of its brevity and the width of its scope, it serves more as a stimulus to further study than as a comprehensive review of the period.
