Book excerpt: Excerpt from Statement of Claims of the British Subjects Interested in Opium: Surrendered to Captain Elliot at Canton for the Public Service Of his memorial, while the ordinary dealers in Opium continued liable to transportation only, tl'. Ose who prepared it for use were by law directed to be strangled a distinction in favour of the former class of offenders which is not unworthy of notice. The words of Leangchang Keu may be transcribed with advantage. I have humbly examined, he says, the laws on the crime of dealing in opium, and the punishment is banishment as a slave to the military at a near frontier; those who clandestinely Open Opium smoking shops are to be strangled after the term of their imprisonment is expired; for the crime of those who Open their shops and seduce the good, as compared with that of the sellers, is still more detestable, therefore the crime is punished by the heavier punishment of strangulation; and the cause why the opium smokers cannot be entirely cut ofi', does not rest with the Opium shops, but it really rests with the Opium brokers of Canton, and for these the laws have no for giveness. I have heard that the foreigners do not carry on their trade in the inner waters, but through the Opium brokers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating the Opium War examines British imperial attitudes towards China during their early encounters from the Macartney embassy to the outbreak of the Opium War – a deeply consequential event which arguably reshaped relations between China and the West in the next century. It makes the first attempt to bring together the political history of Sino-western relations and the cultural studies of British representations of China, as a new way of explaining the origins of the conflict. The book focuses on a crucial period (1792–1840), which scholars such as Kitson and Markley have recently compared in importance to that of American and French Revolutions. By examining a wealth of primary materials, some in more detail than ever before, this study reveals how the idea of war against China was created out of changing British perceptions of the country.
Download or read book Did Lin Zexu Make Morphine Volumes 1 and 2 written by G. W.. Robinette and published by graffiti militante. This book was released on 2008 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be banned in Beijing, this work suggests that Lin Zexu, often called the first modern Chinese nationalist, popular icon for present-day prohibitionists, who legend says caused the first Opium War (1839-1842) by destroying some 20,000 chests of British opium, may deserve a second look from historians. His method of using lime and salt to "destroy" the opium simply shares too many parallels with European methods for extracting morphine from opium. Morphine salts were sold in both China and Europe in the 19th century as substitutes for opium or as opium "cures". Could the mandarin Lin Zexu have stolen from the British, conned the Americans, hastened the downfall of the parasitical Manchu dynasty, and manufactured a simple morphine salt? -- Graffii Milante, Valpaaiso, Chile --from book cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stunningly vibrant final novel in the bestselling Ibis Trilogy It is 1839 and China has embargoed the trade of opium, yet too much is at stake in the lucrative business and the British Foreign Secretary has ordered the colonial government in India to assemble an expeditionary force for an attack to reinstate the trade. Among those consigned is Kesri Singh, a soldier in the army of the East India Company. He makes his way eastward on the Hind, a transport ship that will carry him from Bengal to Hong Kong. Along the way, many characters from the Ibis Trilogy come aboard, including Zachary Reid, a young American speculator in opium futures, and Shireen, the widow of an opium merchant whose mysterious death in China has compelled her to seek out his lost son. The Hind docks in Hong Kong just as war breaks out and opium "pours into the market like monsoon flood." From Bombay to Calcutta, from naval engagements to the decks of a hospital ship, among embezzlement, profiteering, and espionage, Amitav Ghosh charts a breathless course through the culminating moment of the British opium trade and vexed colonial history. With all the verve of the first two novels in the trilogy, Flood of Fire completes Ghosh's unprecedented reenvisioning of the nineteenth-century war on drugs. With remarkable historic vision and a vibrant cast of characters, Ghosh brings the Opium Wars to bear on the contemporary moment with the storytelling that has charmed readers around the world.
