Book Description
Excerpt from Narrative of the Voyages and Services of the Nemesis, From 1840 to 1843, Vol. 1 of 2: And of the Combined Naval and Military Operations in China: Comprising a Complete Account of the Colony of Hong Kong, and Remarks on the Character and Habits of the Chinese The design originally proposed, when the following work was undertaken, has been somewhat departed from, during its progress towards completion. Not only did the interest awakened by the various subjects treated of greatly increase, as the Author proceeded in his attempt to describe the scenes in which the Nemesis bore so distinguished a part, but the introduction of much col lateral matter seemed to be called for, in order to enable him fully to illustrate the current of passing events. Hence the narrative of the adventures of the Nemesis gradually expanded itself into a complete his tory of the origin, progress, and termination of all the recent interesting occurrences in China, including a full and accurate account of all the operations of the war, and of the complicated difficulties from which it origi nated, as well as of the peculiar features that marked its progress.

Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
