Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Li Hung Chang It is believed that the memoirs of Li Hung Chang will speak for themselves, or, better, for the famous Viceroy, who in the flesh was ever ready to speak for the betterment of his country and her people. Still it is deemed advisable here to call the reader´s attention to the form in which the translated transcriptions are given to the public. The Viceroy was by no means a careful diarist; indeed, the contrary was true. Many of his manuscripts were left in Hankow when he went north to Tientsin; and the writings of twenty-four years in the latter city were undisturbed in his rich private lodge until about two years ago, when from half a score of cities of China - Hankow, Canton, Shanghai, Nanking, Suchau, Peking, Tientsin, and others - his writings were collected by a provincial governor of the two Kwangs provinces, a nephew of Li´s, and deposited in the palatial residence of the former Viceroy at Canton. With the permission of the Imperial Government nearly two years ago, and the consent of the trustees and heirs of Li Hung Chang´s estate, the great mass of documents and note? were examined, and carefully translated by Major R. Emmet Roberts, a secretary of the late Viceroy, assisted by Drs. Wang, of Peking, and Hsiu-Tsai, the Elder, of Canton.
