Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Transactions Of The China Branch Of The Royal Asiatic Society, Part 2: 1848-50 (1852)"" is a collection of scholarly articles and papers presented at the China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society during the years 1848-1850. The book is edited by C. B. Hillier and was published in 1852. The Royal Asiatic Society was founded in London in 1823 to promote the study of Asia and its various cultures, languages, and societies. The China Branch of the society was established in 1847 and was one of the earliest and most influential organizations dedicated to the study of China.This volume contains a diverse range of topics, including papers on Chinese history, literature, language, and culture. Some of the articles focus on specific regions or cities in China, such as Canton and Shanghai, while others explore broader themes, such as Chinese law and customs.The book provides valuable insights into the intellectual and cultural exchanges between China and the West during the mid-19th century, a period of rapid change and transformation in both regions. It is an important resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history and culture of China, as well as the broader field of Asian studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
