From Swatow to Canton is a travelogue written by Herbert Allen Giles in 1877. The book chronicles the author's journey from Swatow, a port city in southeastern China, to Canton, a major trading hub in the south. Giles, who was a British diplomat and sinologist, provides detailed descriptions of the people, customs, and landscapes he encountered on his journey. He also offers insights into the political and economic situation in China at the time, including the influence of foreign powers and the impact of the Opium Wars. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, and it remains a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in Chinese history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
