DEDICATION.

TO THE QUEEN .

MADAM ,

The gracious permission to dedicate these Volumes to

Your Majesty, induces me to solicit a consideration of the great

interests involved in the British relations with China ; an Empire

first opened to our commerce by the patriotic spirit of Queen

Elizabeth, and with which our intercourse has been enlarged

during the auspicious reign of Your Majesty.

CHAPTER I.

BRITISH INTERCOURSE WITH CHINA, SINCE THE REIGN

OF QUEEN ELIZABETH ; DETAILS OF THE RECENT WAR,

AND TREATIES WITH ENGLAND.

THE finite capacity of man, and his consequent fallible judg-

ment, render experience a safe guide in mundane affairs, particu-

larly in national intercourse, for the character and ruling motives

of a nation are less liable to change than those of individuals . If

then we find, that in the intercourse of China with foreign coun-

tries for more than 2000 years, submission has been received with

arrogance, and quiescence rewarded with oppression , that resistance

has been treated with respect, and force alone procured conces-

sions to justice,—we have a guide, when pursuing an upright course

of policy, for our conduct towards China.

The previous chapters will corroborate the truth of these

remarks, and in further elucidation of them, independent of his-

torical interest, the following narrative is given of English inter-

course with China, since the reign of our truly national sovereign

Elizabeth, during whose reign (A.D. 1596) we have the first offi-

cial intimation of public communication with China. The follow-

ing is a copy of a letter from Queen Elizabeth of England, to the

Emperor of China, A.D. 1596.
