Description: China and the English; or the Character and Manners of the Chinese. As Illustrated in the History of their Intercourse with Foreigners Author: ["Written for Abbott's Fireside Series"] Title: China and the English; or the Character and Manners of the Chinese. As Illustrated in the History of their Intercourse with Foreigners Publication: New York: Leavitt, Lord, & Co., 1835 Edition: First American Edition (?) Description: First American Edition (?). Hardcover. 12mo, 264pp., illustrated. A good copy only in the publisher's green textured cloth. Book is modestly but noticeably bent/curved, though its structure remains sound. Corners worn, mild internal foxing, and one leaf (pp. 71/72) partially torn with some loss. A seemingly quite scarce volume aimed at an adolescent audience, which purports to describe the culture of the Chinese people through the prism of their encounters with English-speaking people. We note a number of institutional holdings, but the last auction record we could find was in 1988, and we found no other copies in commerce at present. Good.
