Summary: "The Contemporary Review, Volume 36, September 1879" by Various is a collection of essays and articles written in the late 19th century. This volume includes a variety of topics, ranging from political analysis of China to discussions on animal and plant life, social philosophy, and contemporary literature. The diverse subjects suggest a focus on the challenges and complexities of the era, reflecting the intellectual debates of the time. The opening of the volume introduces an essay by Sir Walter H. Medhurst, titled "The Future of China." It examines China's re-emergence in global politics, particularly its recent territorial claims in Central Asia and its interactions with Western powers like Russia and Great Britain. The discussion highlights China's cautious approach to territorial expansion and the implications of its governmental policies in the face of foreign influence. Medhurst argues that while the Chinese government is reluctant to yield territory, it faces pressure from more aggressive Western nations, ultimately speculating on the potential for a foreign power, such as Russia, to exert control over Chinese territory, which may bring a mix of challenges and opportunities for the Chinese people.
