New York Independent says: "Yan Phou Lee was one of the young men sent
to this country to be educated here, and finally matriculated at Yale,
where he graduated with honor. 'When I was a Boy in China' embodies
his recollections of his native country. It is certainly attractive,
with more room for nature to operate and play in freely than is
generally attributed to Chinese life."
