In 1860, naval officer Sherard Osborn (1822 75), a veteran of both
Opium Wars, published this collection of remarks and predictions on
Chinese affairs in relation to British imperial interests. Osborn
writes in forthright style of his time in the East and his negative
experiences of Chinese diplomacy to support his view that 'the
European has ever to use force rather than argument to obtain his
ends in China, be they however moderate, however just'. He also
sets out some advice on how to prevent British smugglers from
taking advantage of the Chinese. A number of Osborn's other
publications are also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection,
including Stray Leaves from an Arctic Journal (1852), The Discovery
of the North-West Passage by HMS Investigator (1856), and The
Career, Last Voyage, and Fate of Captain Sir John Franklin (1860)."
