China is daily becoming more and more an object of interest and curiosity to European nations, in proportion as commerce, the fore-runner, if not the cause, of all improvement.in the arts of civilization, discloses its resources, and sheds new light on the character and intellectual cultivation of its inhabitants. Hitherto, the remoteness of its situation with respect to Britain, and the rude, inhospitable nature of its policy toward strangers, have concurred in perpetuating the erroneous impressions created by travelers imperfectly informed, or prone to exaggeration. Among the unfounded notions sedulously propagated by the advocates of arbitrary power, is the opinion that this vast empire, the government of which may be regarded as the beau ideal of despotism, has been torn by fewer revolutions and civil wars than the free states of the West; and that its military power is a kind of colossus, fabricated by the wisdom of ages, which no force or policy that could be exerted by any European nation would suffice to overthrow.--Amazon.com.

Not illustrated. 1834 edition. Excerpt: ...excluded from visitinp the ports of Spain, were forced to seek other fields for commercial speculations. In order to protect the trade, a company was formed, which sent their first ships, commanded by Houtman, who had been in the service of the Portuguese, to the Indian Archipelago. Encouraged by success, and being enabled to brave the weak Portuguese, who were very much incensed against these heretical intruders, they greatlv extended their commercial operations. Having formed a factory at Bantam, in Java, they proceeded to visit those countries with which, hitherto, the Portuguese and Spaniards had carried on a monopoly. By a strange anomaly, the English company united with the Dutch in the prosecution of mercantile enterprise. Thus, having their hands strengthened, they were able to withstand the power of the natives, as well as of the Spaniards. Shortly after their arrival in India, the Dutch participated in the lucrative trade to Japan. Anxious to enjoy the same privileges which the Portuguese had hitherto possessed at their new settlement of Macao, they sent, in 1604, three of their ships to China. The Chinese were terrified at the appearance of a people whose eyes were blue, their hair red, their feet one cubit and two-tenths long. As it was not on record that so strange a nation had traded to the celestial empire, the Chinese authorities at first refused to have any dealings with them. The jealous Portuguese, at the same time, inspired the Chinese with suspicion. It was hinted that they very likely were pirates; the Dutch denied this aspersion, and affirmed that they were come for the sole purpose of bringing tribute: they were, however, dismissed without having effected their purpose. The Dutch East India Company having, in the...
