This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Opinions of Over 100 Physicians on the Use of Opium in China At one of our Soochow weekly prayer meetings, in December, 1895, Rev. Joseph Bailie brought up the subject of the evils of opium smoking and suggested that it was high time for some action on this question by the great missionary body of China. The suggestion was well received, and at a meeting of the Soochow Missionary and Literary Association, January 2nd, 1896, a committee composed of Rev. H. C. DuBose, Chairman; Rev. W. N. Crozier and Drs. Anne Walter, J. R. Wilkinson, J. B. Fearn and W. H. Park, was appointed to investigate best ways and means, and bring in a report at the next meeting. At the next meeting this committee reported in favor of the formation of an Anti-opium League in China, and this same committee, with the addition of Mr. Bailie, was finally appointed to correspond with the various missionary associations and committees in China with reference to the organization of such League. The labors of the committee were successful, and at the first meeting of the new organisation Dr. W. H. Park, Rev. Y. K. Yen and Rev. G. L. Mason were appointed a committee to prepare a pamphlet setting forth the views of the foreign physicians in China on the use of opium in this country. I was in despair at my appointment, and nothing was done for some time. Finally, it seeming to devolve upon me to take the lead, I got out a series of questions, based on the questions asked by the Royal Opium Commission, and submitted them to the other members of the committee. They made a few changes and agreed to the plan of sending these questions to every physician in China and compiling the answers. Accordingly the questions were printed and sent out, and if any physician in China was overlooked it was accidental. At the head of the printed slip was placed the following statement and appeal: - Dear Doctor: - The information we wish to gain by the following questions is to be used in getting out a pamphlet by the Anti-Opium League in China.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bishop of Durham on the Opium Question: An Address, Delivered at a Meeting Held Under the Auspices of the Society of Friends, in Exeter Hall, London, on Friday, 9th December 1904 You are aware - not to go into details, for time forbids - Of a great outstanding fact, which, as it seems to me (unless the whole history of the human past is to be thrown into the most complete nu certainty), is historically certain, namely, that England is the only power Of the first order which has treaties with China which protect the influx Of Opium into China. With the other powers it is not so. It is with England, alas! That this compact holds, that with regard to English commerce coming over from India - this commerce in Opium - China Shall hold the door Open, whatever She does with the thing imported when it is once within her borders. It is claimed that, because She has accepted the fact, and imposed an excise, in her own interest, upon the Opium when introduced, she has connived and consented to the trade. Even if that were literally true, I do not think we could use it as an excuse for our own ill-doing. But I do not think that it at all implies connivance or consent. It is an acceptance of the inevitable; it is an attempt to make the best of it that can be made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Opium: Being a Refutation of the Fallacies of the Anti-Opium Society and a Defence of the Indo-China Opium Trade As to Mr. B. Broomball's remarks respecting my book I have very little to say there is nothing in them. Like Mr. Storrs Turner, he has found it a poser, and has said very 'little respecting it. When your Opponent gets the worst of an argument, if he does not honestly acknowledge his discomfiture, he generally follows one of two courses - either he loses his temper and takes to scolding, or he suddenly discovers something wonderfully funny in your arguments which no one else was able to detect. Mr. B. Broomhall eschews the former, but adopts the latter course. He selects a paragraph or two, and says, That is ludicrous, but he never condescends to enlighten his readers as to where the fun lies, or in what the drollery consists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Trail of the Opium Poppy, Vol. 1: A Narrative of Travel in the Chief Opium-Producing Provinces of China This book is not a history of the Opium Question, nor does it deal with the evils which attend the abuse of the drug. It is a plain narrative of journeys made in China during the years 1910 and 1911 for the purpose of investigating the extent of poppy-cultivation in those provinces which had hitherto been the chief centres of opium production. The main results of this investigation have already been made public through the medium of parliamentary papers; but he would be a poor observer who confined his attention to one particular subject and shut his eyes to the physical characteristics and economic conditions that constantly present themselves, not to speak of those incidents which befall every traveller in a little known and, in part, unexplored country. It is in the hope that a description of these characteristics, conditions and incidents may prove of some interest that the following pages, compiled from my diary, are now published. The inception, organization and methods of the anti-opium crusade in China are described in the first of two appendices, the second of which contains a summary of my investigation into poppy cultivation in each of the six provinces traversed by me.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Vindication of England's Policy With Regard to the Opium Trade About two years ago I had occasion to go thoroughly into the question of the opium-trade between India and China. Up to that time, knowing practically nothing about the matter except what the anti-opium Society and their supporters had to say on the subject, I was as zealous an opponent of the traffic as any of them could wish. But as soon as I came to read both sides of the question, and consult original authorities, I felt myself forced, much against my will at first, to abandon my previous opinions. And I may as well say at once that I have no personal interest whatever, direct or. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
