The New Middle Kingdom
Author: Kendall Johnson
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421422514
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Examining the influential accounts of Westerners at the center of early US cultural development abroad, Johnson conceives a romance of free trade with China as a quest narrative of national accomplishment in a global marketplace. Drawing from a richly descriptive cross-cultural archive, the book presents key moments in early relations among the twenty-first century's superpowers through memoirs, biographies, epistolary journals, magazines, book reviews, fiction and poetry by Melville, Twain, Whitman, and others, travel narratives, and treaties, as well as maps and engraved illustrations. Paying close attention to figurative language, generic forms, and the social dynamics of print cultural production and circulation, Johnson shows how authors, editors, and printers appealed to multiple overlapping audiences in China, in the United States, and throughout the world.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Chinese Commercial Guide: Consisting of a Collection of Details and Regulations Respecting Foreign Trade With China, Sailing Directions, Tables The first edition of the Chinese Commercial Guide was published in 1835 by the author, John R.Morrison, who was then employed by the British mercantile community in Canton as their Chinese translator, and possessed peculiar facilities for learning all that could be ascertained respecting the foreign trade as then conducted by the hong-merchants. It is still valuable for its data respecting the Chinese trade as carried on twenty years ago, and furnishes much curious information upon the subject, and respecting the tortuous policy of the Chinese government in conducting the trade for its own advantage through the co-hong. On the conclusion of the war between England and China in 1842, and the publication of the new arrangements for trade according to the British, American, and French Treaties, the Commercial Guide was revised, to furnish all the information which could be obtained likely to be useful to the merchant, using whatever was found in the first edition that was applicable to the foreign commerce with China, or interesting to those engaged in it. The sailing directions for the coast of China, made chiefly by Capt. Collinson, r.n., were inserted in the same volume, and have proved very convenient to shipmasters. In this revised edition, which was issued in 1844, the name of the author of the previous work was retained, for the reasons given in the preface. In 1848, a third edition was printed almost without alteration. Eight years have now elapsed since the third edition was published, during which time the changes have been many and important. Shanghai, Fuhchau, and Hongkong have become centres of a large and growing trade, while the business of Canton and Macao has diminished, both relatively and absolutely.
