Publisher's Synopsis

Reginald F. Johnston served as tutor and adviser to the last emperor of China. The emperor P'u-i had abdicated his throne in 1912. To ensure a peaceful transfer of authority, he retained his title and remained in the Forbidden City until 1924. This is Johnston's account when he was placed to observe the twilight years of the Ch'ing dynasty.
