Synopsis
The Opium Question And The Northern Campaigns: Including Notices Of Some Strictures By Reviewers Of The Former; And Indications Of The Salient Points Of The Latter, Down To The Treaty Of Nanking — Gideon Nye. This work presents Gideon Nye’s two-part lecture that surveys forty years of foreign intercourse with China (1833–1874), focusing on the Opium Question and the Northern Campaigns. It combines historical narrative of Canton’s crises, the march north, and the eventual Treaty of Nanking with Nye’s prefatory notes, editorials, and replies to reviewers. The author examines the Opium trade as a fiscal and political issue, discusses the shift from conciliation to coercion in British policy, and reflects on the moral and diplomatic implications of peace with China. He honors some British leaders, critiques others, and laments missed opportunities for a more enlightened, morally grounded approach. The text also situates personal experiences of mobs, the risks to foreigners in Canton, and the broader promise and perils of international relations between Britain and China.
