PUBLIC HEALTH IN CHINA.
Collection of Imperial Maritime Customs Medical Reports.
Shanghai: Published at the Statistical Department of the Inspectorate General of Customs 1895-1905. I believe the Inspectorate aided by its Medical Officers can do good work A lengthy run of this valuable specialist compendium. Each issue had a circulation of around 500 copies only the majority sent to customs stations and libraries as well as diplomats and naval officers and copies are therefore rare in commerce. The Chinese Maritime Customs Service was founded in 1854 by Britain and other foreign powers to collect taxes on maritime trade for the Chinese government but its remit quickly expanded to include domestic customs administration the postal service waterway and harbour management and scientific research. In 1870 Inspector-General Sir Robert Hart instituted this series information to be provided by the medical officers assigned to customs stations. Issues were issued on a yearly or half-yearly basis sometimes in double numbers. "This network of epidemic monitoring and ecological investigation which was gradually built up by the medical officers and medical missionaries extended throughout East Asia and created a huge medical database" Gao p. 54. 17 works bound in 3 quarto 271 x 220 mm. With plates charts maps and diagrams throughout some folding and a few in colour; occasional text in French. Contemporary blue library cloth spines lettered in gilt top edges sprinkled brown other edges untrimmed original yellow wrappers bound in. Ex-Bodleian Library with its shelf labels on spines pencilled pressmarks and accession and cancellation ink stamps. Bindings lightly worn and rubbed one spine with abrasions to cloth occasional short closed tears internally the odd repair and loss but a very good usable collection.
