Add to basketFirst editions, first printings, complete with its original box, of this historical compendium equal in stature to Morse's Chronicles of the East India Company Trading to China. The scope covers some 3,500 letters and 5,000 telegrams sent between Beijing and the customs service's London office, all drawn from the service's confi…dential archives and nearly all never before made publicly accessible. The volumes were born out of a long-running collaboration between the Second Historical Archives of China and the Institute of Modern History, China Academy of Social Sciences. The Hart-Campbell correspondence is presented unabridged and without editorial corrections, to retain as much of the original feel of the documents as possible. New editions have been published in China in the last two decades. 4 vols, octavo, pp. 942; 1158; 1576; 675. Original blue cloth, spines lettered in silver, gold bookmarkers. Housed in publisher's box with plastic toggles. Vol. I shaken, rear inner hinge starting, front board slightly bowed; jackets without prices as issued, toned and creased, Vol. I jacket cockled and faded, Vol. IV jacket cockled: a very good set in like jackets, box splitting along one edge, lid sunned, internal lining worn in places.
