An eyewitness account of The Opium War that was waged on China by Britain and Americans. A Personal Investigation, during an Extended Tour, of the Present Conditions of the Opium Trade in China and Its Effects upon the Nation. These chapters were originally published during 1907 and 1908 in Success Magazine. Though frankly journalistic in tone, the book presents something more than the hasty conclusions of a journalist. During its preparation the author traveled around the world, inquiring into the problem at first hand in China and in England, reading all available printed matter which seemed to bear in any way on the subject, and interviewing several hundred gentlemen who have had special opportunities to study the problem from various standpoints. The writing was not begun until this preliminary work was completed and the natural conclusions had become convictions in the author's mind. Includes an afterword by Charles F. Gammon, author of “A Souvenir album of China,: Including Four Hundred and Fifty Original Photographs” CONTENTS I. CHINA'S PREDICAMENT II. THE GOLDEN OPIUM DAYS III. A GLIMPSE INTO AN OPIUM PROVINCE IV. CHINA'S SINCERITY V. SOWING THE WIND IN CHINA--SHANGHAI VI. SOWING THE WIND IN CHINA--TIENTSIN AND HONG KONG VII. HOW BRITISH CHICKENS CAME HOME TO ROOST VIII.
