The Right, Obligation, and Interest of the Government of Great Britain to Require Redress from the Government of China (1840)

The book ""The Right, Obligation, And Interest Of The Government Of Great Britain To Require Redress From The Government Of China"" was written by Alexander Graham and published in 1840. The book discusses the historical background and current situation of the trade relationship between Great Britain and China, focusing on the issues of opium trade and the resulting conflicts between the two nations. Graham argues that the British government has a moral and legal right to demand compensation and redress from the Chinese government for the harm caused to British merchants and traders by the Chinese government's policies and actions. He also emphasizes the economic and strategic interests of Great Britain in maintaining a strong presence in China and calls for a more assertive approach in dealing with the Chinese authorities. The book provides a detailed analysis of the political, economic, and cultural factors that shaped the British-Chinese relations in the 19th century and sheds light on the complex dynamics of imperialism, nationalism, and international trade in the era of colonial expansion.For The Late Forced Surrender Of British-Owned Opium At Canton.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
