Opium: Or The Poppy In China by Joseph Edkins is a comprehensive account of the history and cultural significance of opium in China. The book traces the origins of opium use in China, its spread across the country, and the social and economic impact it had on Chinese society. Edkins also explores the political and diplomatic implications of opium trade between China and Western nations, particularly Britain, and the resulting Opium Wars. The book provides insights into the Chinese perspective on opium, including its use in traditional medicine and religious rituals. Overall, Opium: Or The Poppy In China is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of drug use, international trade, and cultural exchange in China.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
