Portrait frontispiece 287pp appendix first and last leaves are faintly foxed neat written name of a prior owner on the half-title spine a little sunned but a firm and tight copy. "In the following pages an attempt is made to reveal the facts regarding the more important issues which have arisen between China and the Treaty Powers as a result of the recent disturbances in that country. It seems to be the fashion nowadays in some circles to regard every claim made or right exercised by the foreign Powers in China as "imperialistic" or unreasonable. It does not seem to be generally understood that the so-called "unequal Treaties" constituted the only means at the time at which they were imposed of securing for foreign residents in China reasonable security for their persons their property and their trade. . . . This work was written with no feeling of hostility towards the Chinese among whom the writer is proud to number many close friends. He believes that it is essential that the truth about the more important of China's international problems should be widely known and that no real service would be done to China by ignoring stubborn and irrefutable facts when the question of treaty-revision is seriously taken up. The labour expended upon writing this volume during a brief furlough will be amply rewarded if it contributes to the discussion of China's problems on a basis of reality. It is easy enough for the arm-chair critic or the sentimentalist at home to urge the scrapping of existing Treaties and the relinquishment of the privileges certain foreigners at present enjoy. These people would probably take a very different view if they had lived for any length of time in China and acquired a first-hand knowledge of the actual situation in that country. And I cannot believe that they are doing any real service to China or to their own countrymen by creating the impression that the British and American publics have completely succumbed to Chinese nationalist and Bolshevik propaganda."

Original illustrated papered boards lacks the lower half of the back strip and with discolouration of tape residue to the spine. Prior owner name on the the front free endpaper dated 'Xmas 1920'. 20.7 x 16cm. Eighteen-year-old Kwei-li became My Lady of the Chinese Courtyard when she married. Before the wedding she had not known her husband but she fell deeply in love with him at first sight. When he is ordered to accompany Prince Chung on his travels abroad he asks her to write him every day and she happily complies with his wish that she understands as a command. In her letters Kwei-li reports what is going on in the courtyard of home that she shares with his mother and siblings often allowing the love and longing for her husband to seep into her words. Originally published in 1914 this is a sequel to Love Letters of a Chinese Lady written by Elizabeth Cooper. These letters "come out of the confused revolutionary atmosphere of the new China. Kwei-li's patriotism and hatred of the foreign grows out of the fact that as wife of the governor of one of the chief provinces she had been from the beginning en rapport with the intrigues the gossip and the rumours of a revolution which for intricacy of plot and hidden motive is incomparable with any previous national chance on record."

1906réf. 168928New York.: G.W. Dillingham Company. Reprint. c1906. Colour frontispiece 426pp 2 adverts neat pencilled inscription front free endpaper dated 1910spine sunned with light rubbing to head and tail. Very good copy A curious collection of short stories set in China or amongst the Chinese community in the US by American author Frances Aymar Mathews. The story from which the book takes its title was first published in Harper's Monthly. While another journal well known for its coverage of Asian affairs at the time The Overland largely ignored the disasterous fighting deaths looting and destruction going on in China during the Boxer Rebellion Harper's Monthly published this "peculiar story" alongside political essays of the time. Set in Tien-Tsin a city which had suffered terribly this is the story of "an illicit intimacy" between an American writer and a young Chinese housewife which not surprisingly ends in tragedy. A story which strongly reflects the attitudes of its time. Yu-Fang describes it: "This story evokes the colonial trope of "enslaved" Chinese women's liberation through Christianity and heterosexual love while displacing violent colonial encounters into a domestic tragedy of illicit inter-racial intimacy."

Much better than it sounds this is a very pleasing copy of a scarce item. "The author states that ' the story - though not all fact is not fiction. Its incidents are either real occurrences or like them. The official corruption presented may be less in other localities; yet it is to be feared that it is general and great. The customs described may differ in other parts of China; the author has presented what he knew prevailed in the vicinity of Amoy his home for a time. The facts regarding the famine were gathered from published reports of missionaries and from statements made by missionaries to the author. At least one of those stated that sixty-three per cent of government appropriations were taken for their own use by mandarins instead of being applied for the relief of suffering. The Tai Ping Rebellion is of course a matter of history: but the facts relating to the capture of Amoy were obtained from him whose name Rev. J.V.N. Talmage D.D. for more than 40 years a missionary in China appears on the page of dedication." . Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society hardcover
