Book Description
Excerpt from The American Museum, or Repository of Ancient and Modern Fugitive Pieces, &C. Prose and Poetical, Vol. 3: For January, 1768; Numb. I The latt mode, whichis the one he has followed, was, to intert valuable pieces on each tide, giving precedence to o icial, authenticated papers. This, he expeeted, would offend lhote zealots of both parties, who regard a difference in tentiment as an inexpiable crime. Nor has he been de ceived. Such people have loudly complained. But while he receives the approbation of the candid and the moderate, whom alone he is ambiti ous to pleafe, he thall ret'c tatistied under the centures of the intemperate, the intriguing, and the violent.

Book Description
Sul’s history of the international ginseng trade reveals the cultural aspects of international capitalism and the impact of this single commodity on relations between the East and the West. Ginseng emerged as a major international commodity in the seventeenth century, when the East India Company began trading it westward. Europeans were drawn to the plant’s efficacy as a medicine, but their attempts to transplant it for mass production were unsuccessful. Also, due to a failure of extracting its active ingredients, Western pharmacology disparaged ginseng in the process of modernization. In the meantime, ginseng was discovered on the American continent and became one of the United States’ key exports to Asia and particularly China, but never cultivated a significant domestic market. As such, historicizing the ginseng trade provides a unique perspective on the impact of both culture and economics on international trade. A compelling interdisciplinary history of over five centuries of East–West trade and cultural exchange, this book will be invaluable to students and scholars of transnational history and a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of international trade.
