These From The Land Of Sinim

""These From The Land Of Sinim: Essays On The Chinese Question"" is a collection of essays written by Robert Hart, a British diplomat who served as the Inspector-General of China's Imperial Maritime Customs Service in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book explores various aspects of China's history, culture, politics, and economy, as well as the challenges and opportunities that the country faced during Hart's time. The essays cover topics such as the Opium Wars, the Taiping Rebellion, the Boxer Rebellion, the role of foreign powers in China, the modernization of the country, and the relationship between China and the West. Hart's writing is insightful, informative, and often critical of Western attitudes towards China. The book provides a valuable perspective on China's past and present, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the country's history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
