The book The Iniquities Of The Opium Trade With China: Being A Development Of The Main Causes Which Exclude The Merchants Of Great Britain by Algernon S. Thelwall is a comprehensive study of the opium trade between China and Great Britain. The author sheds light on the unethical and exploitative practices of the British merchants who were involved in the opium trade with China in the 19th century. Thelwall delves into the history of the opium trade and its impact on the Chinese economy and society.The book provides an in-depth analysis of the various factors that led to the exclusion of British merchants from the Chinese market. Thelwall examines the political, economic, and social conditions in China during that period, which made it difficult for British merchants to establish a foothold in the country. The author also explores the role of the British government in promoting and protecting the interests of the opium traders.Through his research, Thelwall highlights the devastating effects of the opium trade on the Chinese people, including addiction, poverty, and social unrest. He argues that the opium trade was a form of imperialism that exploited the Chinese people and undermined their sovereignty.Overall, The Iniquities Of The Opium Trade With China is a thought-provoking and informative book that sheds light on a dark chapter in the history of British imperialism. Thelwall's meticulous research and insightful analysis make it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the opium trade or the relationship between China and Great Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
