Three parts in three volumes: Historical; Inscriptional; Genealogical. Numerous photographic plates, illustrations, maps, etc.

When this work was reviewed in 1946 in the anthropological journal "Man," it was considered to be a "very learned, thorough, detailed, well-documented survey of this ancient and lonely outpost of Jewry." The book is divided into three parts. The first, tells the story of the Chinese Jews through the eyes of those who met them directly, presenting many varied pictures of this unique group. The second part, presents texts and inscriptions with translations and commentaries. The final volume details names and information about specific Jews through Chinese history.
