Opis

These volumes examine trade relations with China from 1635-1842. The classic work on the period 1635-1834 is Hosea Ballou Morse's Chronicles of the East India Company Trading with China, 1635-1834, which attempted to cover the whole of the East India Company's monopolisation of Britain's trade with China from 1634 onwards. However, Morse's coverage of the subject is uneven and, for a fuller view, this treatment of the more complex period of the later 18th and early 19th century dealings between the East India Company and China are usefully complemented in this series by two other major research studies, and by a number of printed original documents.

Recenzje

'With this ten volume set on British-Chinese economic and political history between 1635 and 1842 the editor presents a luxurious reprint of the basic primary sources as well as the literature which is mainly founded on primary sources, to an academic readership' -- Michael Mann
