As the Ch'ing government's Inspector General of the Maritime
Customs Service, Robert Hart was the most influential Westerner in
China for half a century. These journal entries continue the
sequence begun in Entering China's Service and cover the years when
Hart was setting up Customs procedures, establishing a modus
operandi with the Ch'ing bureaucracy, and inspecting the treaty
ports. They culminate in Hart's return visit to Europe with the
Pin-ch'un Mission and his marriage in Northern Ireland. Richard
Smith, John King Fairbank, and Katherine Bruner interleave the
segments of Hart's journals with lively narratives describing the
contemporary Chinese scene and recounting Hart's responses to the
many challenges of establishing a Western-style organization within
a Chinese milieu.
