China And The Manchus

""China and the Manchus"" is a historical book written by Herbert A. Giles that provides a comprehensive account of the Manchu conquest of China in the 17th century. The book traces the rise of the Manchu people and their eventual ascension to power, as well as the impact of their rule on Chinese society and culture. The author delves into the political, social, and economic changes that occurred during the Manchu dynasty, including the introduction of new laws and policies, the growth of trade and commerce, and the spread of Chinese culture beyond its borders. The book also examines the conflicts and tensions that arose between the Manchu rulers and the Chinese people, as well as the various rebellions and uprisings that occurred throughout the dynasty's reign. Overall, ""China and the Manchus"" offers a fascinating and insightful look into one of the most important periods in Chinese history.It is said that no fewer than thirty thousand adherents were executed before the trouble was finally suppressed; from which statement it is easy to gather that under whatever form the White Lily Society may have been originally initiated, its activities were now of a much more serious character, and were, in fact, plainly directed against the power and authority of the Manchus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
