[vi], viii, 193, [iv]pp. Peking, The Peiping Chronicle, ?Why ?Guide to Peking? when this is Peiping? Because: 1. The average tourist is not so much interested in the city of today, which is Peiping, as he is in the city of the past ? Peking. 2. Peiping is so new a name  that many of the tourists still feel more familiar with the name Peking, and are more apt to buy a ?Guide to Peking? than a ?Guide to Peiping? 3. What?s in a name, anyway??
