Excerpt from Our Relations With the Chinese Empire In 1839, before hostilities had actually commenced with the British, in consequence of his seizure of opium, Commissioner Lin found that the Americans had this reputation at Canton, and he endeavored to enlist them on his side in his efforts to suppress it. On one occasion, he sent a special agent to Macao, to request Rev. Mr. Bridgman, the American missionary, to come to him, supposing that he might have some influence in this direction. An interview was held, and although Lin was disappointed in his plan of intermediation, he learned many new ideas concerning the impending struggle, and the relative power of his own country and Great Britain, as well as the inefficiency of his attempt to prevent it. It was the first effort on the part of any Chinese official to open political relations with the Americans, and was in itself a tacit acknowledgment of the reputation which Mr. Bridgman had obtained among the people during his ten years' residence at Canton. At that time, the American trade was second in value to the British. The Chinese Government sincerely desired to stop only the opium trade and develop all other branches; but the British Government, ruled as it is by the shortsighted selfishness of trade, refused to cooperate in this despairing effort to restrain an evil of which its victims knew the effects better than their destroyers. England then lost a golden opportunity to elevate moral above mercenary motives in the eyes of a heathen people, which she has never recovered. She showed no desire to stay the destroying agency so profitable to herself. The proposal of the American Government in 1844, to open political relations with the Court of Peking, was moi favorably received by it than a similar one from any other nation would have been at that moment, owing to this general opinion of its citizens; and the first article of Mr. Cushing's treaty of July, 1844, indicated the hopes of such a makeweight against the British. It read as follows: "There shall be a perfect, permanent, and universal peace, and a sincere and cordial amity between the United States of America on the one part, and the Ta Tsing Empire on the other part, and between their people respectively, without exception of persons or places."

Excerpt from The International Relations of the Chinese Empire The present author's intention has been to give the events of the period such relative importance as they deserve; to lay no undue stress on picturesque episodes, even though they might help to lighten the narrative; and, knowingly, to omit none of those minor occurrences which, dull and uninteresting though they might he, were still important elements in mould ing the opinions and guiding the actions of the principal actors on the scene. It has further been his aim to give an original authority or to cite a reference for every statement made, the truth or completeness of which might in any way be questioned.

Excerpt from British Relations With the Chinese Empire in 1832: Comparative Statement of the English and American Trade With India and Canton To enable them the better to prosecute this valuable commerce, the East India Company sought and obtained permission to build a factory at Canton, where their agents were permitted to reside six months in the year - a favour specifically accorded as a matter of compassion to fo reigners, who are carefully debarred all intercourse with the interior of the country; a dread being entertained that the introduction of Europeans to settle in China, would lead (according also to ancient prophecy) to the total subversion of the empire. Other branches of trade were subsequently added to that of tea. In 1773, the East India Company made a. Small adventure of opium from Bengal to Canton; and the consumption of Opium increased as rapidly among the Chinese, as tea did among the English, until it now yields (although a contraband trade, ) Spanish dollars and pays a revenue to the Indian go vernment of sterling! This trade, scarcely less extraordinary than that of 'the Chinese herb, is one, be it remembered, if there be any gratitude left in England, for which Great Britain also stands indebted to the East India Company. Raw cotton forms another extensive ar tiele of export to China t it is in general a less profitable remittance than bills of exchange, but the exportation is encouraged for the benefit of the Indian territories.

Excerpt from China and the Roman Orient: Researches Into Their Ancient and Medieval Relations as Represented in Old Chinese Records My interpretation of these records leads to the conclusion that the ancient country of Ta-ts'in, called Fu-lin during the middle ages, was not the Roman Empire with Rome as its capital, but merely its oriental part, viz., Syria, Egypt and Asia Minor; and Syria in the first instance. If applied to the Roman Orient the greater part of the facts mentioned by the Chinese can be traced, and a reasonable explanation may be found for them without resorting to improbabilities; while, if applied to the whole empire, or to Italy, or to any other part of ancient Rome, the matter contained in the Chinese tradition does not agree with reality. As I read the Chinese notices they contain tolerably exact statements regarding the contemporaneous geography of western Asia; they would indeed be puerile nonsense - as I believe Colonel Yule calls them somewhere in his Cathay - if applied to any other part of the world.

Excerpt from The People of China: Their Country, History, Life, Ideas, and Relations With the Foreigner Loess and Rivers - All China, like Gaul, is divided into three parts. They are - Mountainous Country (say, half), Hilly Country, and the Great Plain (about 700 miles in length and from 150 miles to 500 miles in breadth, stretching between Peking and the mouth of the Yangtsze, an area as great and as densely populated as the plain of Bengal drained by the Ganges). A quarter of a million square miles Of the country are covered with loess, a strange fine, friable, yellow earth (hence, possibly, the Yellow often reaching to a great depth, and so rich as to need little or no manure. All precious stones and minerals are believed to be found within the Empire - part of the Yangtsze is called the River of Golden Sand, and coal, which exists in every Province, usually near iron, is so plentiful in Shansi alone that the world's supply could be taken from it for 3000 years No country can compare with the land of great rivers (and many canals and ferries) for natural facilities for inland naviga tion 31 it has been said, indeed, that there are more boats in China than in all the rest of the earth.
