'Foreign Mud' was opiumsmuggled into China in the early nineteenth century by British and other Western ships while their governments looked the other way.The merchants saw it as a fair tradeespecially because China refused to open her markets to the world.To the Chinese courthoweverit was an outrage: an affront to the dignity of the Celestial Empire by unruly foreign Barbarians.At a time when the British were determined to force their way into every market of the world and the Chinese retained their centuries-old aloofnesswar was inevitable. First published in 1946Maurice Collis's elegant and colourful account of the Opium War is now regarded as a masterpiece.In writing that is intimatelivelyfull of comedy and ironic contrasts Collis gives a fascinating account of this strange and highly intricate tradeand of the miscomprehension but also the strange similarities between the two arrogant nations.

‎Petr Petrovich Semenov/Travels in the Tian'-Shan' / 1856-1857‎

‎xliii269 pages with 15 color plates 4 maps glossary bibliography and indexes. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship <i>Victoria</i> to front cover in original jacket. Translated by Liudmila Gilmore Colin Thomas and Marcus Wheeler. Second Series volume 189. First edition.<br /><br />In the mid-nineteenth century the eyes of western European explorers were firmly fixed on advancing inland from former maritime colonies in the Americas Africa the Indian sub-continent and Australasia their motives often being inextricably bound up with concerns of imperial politics and commerce. Simultaneously further east Russians resumed their perceived mission to civilize Asia following their own country's humiliation during the Crimean War. From a springboard of Siberian territories acquired gradually over the previous three centuries discovery and expansion radiated from the Imperial Russian Geographical Society founded in 1845 and incorporating initiatives drawn from descendants of immigrant French and German scientists who themselves inspired a new generation of liberal intellectuals. A key personality in that movement was the Society's library and secretary of it physical geography section P P Semenov 1827-1914 a member of a minor gentry family who had been tutored by a pupil of Linnaeus and who had studied under Titter and von Humboldt at Berlin during a tour of Europe in 1853-4. From them he conceived the notion of traveling to the virtually unknown lands of Central Asia ostensibly to verify opinions on the existence there of active volcanoes and glaciers. In reality his ambition was to penetrate beyond the Kazakh steppe and to reach the fabled Celestial Mountains the Tian'-Shan' range which constituted the politically sensitive border between Russia and China and the equally hostile buffer zone of Muslim khanates. Accompanied only by a serf servant in May 1856 Semenov embarked on an 18-month journey from St Petersburg through Kazan' to Semipalatinsk and thence via the Altai to the newly established Russian settlement of Vernoe later Alma-Ata now Almaty. Subsequently he received a Cossack escort on his trek into the high plateaus and ridges surround Issyk-kul' to "the very hear of Asia;. Throughout his travels his collection of geological and botanical specimens together with topographical and meteorological observations and sketches made by the artist Pavel Kosharov provided a cornucopia of primary data on hitherto sparsely documented environments alongside ethnographic information and unique insights into the social and economic life of rival nomadic pastoral clans of the Kirgiz. While presenting a European view of Central Asia before the large-scale influx of Russian peasant settlers that followed the emancipation of the serfs in 1861 a process in which Semenov was also instrumental his journal of 1856-7 explicitly set out a strategy for imperial expansion that was accomplished within the next three decades and which in turn laid the foundations for the multi-ethnic agricultural and industrial developments in the region during the Soviet period.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />A fine copy in like jacket.
