It contains a map of China and Burma with six vignette illustrations including a view of Hong Kong and several unrelated subject-wise pages of text and is complete as issued. Subscription publication was common during the 19th century making publications more affordable to the rapidly expanding middle class market and this method where illustrations and text are unrelated was used to deter subscribers from quitting partway through their subscription. The advertisement on the back cover gives the title "The Chinese Empire: A Comprehensive History of the Manners Customs Industries and Arts of the Chinese. by Rev. G.N. Wright. Magnificently Illustrated with Numerous Steel Engravings from Sketches taken on the Spot. by T. Allom Esq." The title "The Chinese Empire Historical and Descriptive" appears on the title page included with part 38 of the series. . London Printing and Publishing Company. unknown
