Book Description
Excerpt from The Opium Question Before proceeding to detail the immediate occur renees out of which the present question has arisen, it may be as well to intimate generally that the British Opium Trade between India and China, which had been carried on, for upwards of forty years, under a nominal, if not an actual, prohibition, - became, within the last three years, the object of very strenuous opposition on the part of the Chinese, on grounds which will be clearly explained hereafter. The pro posal to legalize the trade, was, in the latter end of the year 1886, seriously entertained, but at length abandoned, by the Emperor; the former circumstance giving a great impetus to it, -encouraged, too, as it was, by the highest provincial authorities in China, to whom it yielded a large revenue. In the years 1837 and 1838, measures of rapidly-increasing strin geney and vigour were pointed by the Chinese at the traffic, the aspect of affairs becoming every day more threatening. No steps, however, appear to have been taken towards foreigners, till the 12th of December, 1838; on which day preparations were made by the Chinese authorities for strangling a Native Opium dealer in front of the F actory - an act to the foreigners most offensive and unprecedented, and which led to a brief stoppage of the trade.
