There are immense tracts of vacant lands in Manchuria and Mongolia, and Ili, Thibet, and the vicinage of the Yellow River are very scantily peopled. The cause, however, is not to be found in inadequate tillage of the soil, but in want of transportation. According to the Chinese accounts, agriculture was not gradually developed from rude beginnings, but has a certain definiteness of origin which it lacks in Western history or tradition.
