The Foreigner In China is a book written by Lucius N. Wheeler and published in 1881. The book is a detailed account of the author's experiences as a foreigner living in China during the late 19th century. Wheeler provides a fascinating insight into the social, cultural, and political landscape of China during this period.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of life in China. Wheeler describes his encounters with Chinese people, including their customs, traditions, and way of life. He also discusses the Chinese government, the imperial court, and the country's complex bureaucracy.One of the most interesting aspects of the book is Wheeler's observations on the Opium Wars and their impact on China. He describes the devastating effects of opium addiction on the Chinese people and the subsequent conflicts between China and foreign powers.Overall, The Foreigner In China provides a unique perspective on China during a pivotal period in its history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Chinese culture, politics, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
