Summary:
"This unique book explores the wide range of views of Britons in China from the late 1700s to the 1840s as they chafed under the restrictions imposed by the Canton System. Carroll brings a seminal period in the Chinese-British relationship, which revolved around tea and opium, to vivid life through the words of those who experienced it intimately"-- Provided by publisher.
