Dennis John Kavanagh epub The Pagoda (Classic Reprint)

Library 17 FOREWORD. It was tki easy task to gather together the material out of which the followinglittle sketch has been constructed. Very mainauthors refer to the Pagoda and speak of its architectural and artistic magnificence, hut few. if any, certainly not one whom 1could find. tell us, with any degree of precision, what Pagodas really are. why they were originally built, or to what uses they were subsequently applied. Brother Peck. S. J., and his associates in the Chinese Orphanage at Zi-ka-wei are, therefore, the pioneers in this particular held of archeological research. To him and to Sj them I am indebted for whatever of scientific Svalue this sketch may possess. ag I am fully conscious of its very many imper fections, hut it was found necessary to offer cj some explanation of what, in the opinion of many, is the most interesting exhibit in the Panama-P acific International Exposition. I shall welcome all suggestions which anyone more conversant with the subject may be kind enough to offer. Rev. D. J. Kavanagh, S. J., Palace of Education.
