Description

Thereafter there was in China a steady extension of the treaty port pattern so established, reflected in papers on the mechanisms and costs of empire (postal services, consular courts, maintenance of troops, suppression of piracy), as well as some of its problems (the Chinese coolie trade, rebellion in China, attacks on missionaries). As well the series includes a great many translations of Chinese documents, which are of great value to the historian. -- Publisher's catalogue.
