This uncommon title is a summary of what was then known of the history and customs of China, but it is wholly derivative from other works, which the author lists in his preface. "The remarkable insurrection now progressing in China has directed special attention to that country. [...] These pages are intended to supply information on all topics of interest connected with China. [...] The numerous travellers by rail will find it a suitable, and by no means an unprofitable, companion." - from the author's preface. Half-leather and marbled boards. The spine has the title "Nearer and Dearer", after the first title in the volume. Provenance: Owner's signature of "Willis" on a couple of leaves.
