Originally published between 1908 and 1918, this five-volume set
offers an unparalleled account of trade and economic life in China
in the 19th century from a Western perspective. The first three
volumes analyse the history of China's relations with the West
between 1834 and 1911. Key issues include the increase in foreign
control over China and the attempts of the Chinese government to
respond, the rise of Japan in Asia, and the final demise of the
Qing Empire. Volume 4 (Trade and Administration of China) and
Volume 5 (The Gilds of China) provide a first-hand account of the
workings of the Chinese economy. Coverage includes the central and
provincial government of the Qing Empire, the fiscal position of
the Chinese state, international trade, the position of foreigners
in China's economy, opium imports, the Inspectorate of Customs, the
railways, and an examination of the guild system that underpinned
the organization of commerce in China. With a new introduction by
leading scholar, Michael Dillon, the set is essential reading for
anyone seeking to understand economic and political relations
between China and the West in the second half of the 19th century.
