Impressions Of China: And The Present Revolution, Its Progress And Prospects (1855) - Paperback

""Impressions of China: And the Present Revolution, Its Progress and Prospects"" is a book written by Edmund Gardiner Fishbourne in 1855. The book is a first-hand account of Fishbourne's experiences in China during the time of the Taiping Rebellion, a massive civil war that lasted from 1850 to 1864. In the book, Fishbourne describes his travels throughout China, including his visits to major cities such as Shanghai, Canton, and Beijing. He also provides detailed accounts of the battles and political events that were taking place during the rebellion. Fishbourne's observations on the rebellion and the state of China at the time are particularly interesting, as he was one of the few Westerners who had the opportunity to witness the conflict firsthand. The book is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the political and social conditions of China during a tumultuous period in its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
