Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address to the People of Great Britain: Explanatory of Our Commercial Relations With the Empire of China, and of the Course of Policy by Which It May Be Rendered an Almost Unbounded Field for British Commerce
Nor is the vastness of this empire to be estimated merely by the space over which it spreads, since in point of extent, China Proper yields to the Russian empire, which stretches from the shores of the Baltic to the sea of Kamtschatka, and from the Caspian to the Polar ocean. In the number of its inhabitants, however, it surpasses Russia and all other countries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
