An Aide-de-Camp's Recollections of Service in China : A Residence in Hong-Kong, and Visits to Other Islands in the Chinese Seas

Omtale

This two-volume 1844 work is a memoir of the tour of duty of Captain Arthur Cunynghame (1812–84) in China as aide-de-camp to Major-General Lord Saltoun, Commander of the East India Company's troops there. His observations of 'a country that is so strange and new to all Europe' are fascinating.
