Description
Excerpt from Europe in China: The History of Hongkong From the Beginning to the Year 1882
O Europeans residing in Hongkong or China, I need not offer any excuse for inviting them to take up this book. T he natural desire to learn to understand the present by a consideration of the past, will plead with them better than I could do. But the general reader, in England and elsewhere, I entreat for a reconsideration of the popularly accepted view that but little importance, beyond that of a curio, attaches to Hongkong, its community and position, or indeed to European relations with China.
