[2], 158pp, [2], sparsely illustrated. In blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine (cloth gently rounded on corners and spine tips, slightly worn all over). Small paper scar on rear endpaper, else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. 12mo. A reprint of the classic work first published in London, by Kegan Paul, in 1882, which includes the original preface.

An account of the factories and the way of life of their residents permitted by the Middle Kingdom for ‘foreign barbarians’ on the banks of the River Choo, in Old Canton – then the only open port in China, when no foreigner was permitted, on any pretext, to enter the country. Starts with a brief account of the journey from New York to the Central Flowery Land on board the ship Citizen.
