Présentation de l'éditeur

Residing in Shanghai during those stirring July days when the Boxers were defying Europe and A merica, destroying the Manchurian railway, and holding Pekin isolated from the rest of the world, I made the acquaintance, by chance, of a discharged servant of his Excellency, the Viceroy Liu Kun-Y ih. Learning from his conversation that he held some novel opinions concerning the ultimate purpose of the Boxers movement, I questioned him closely, and discovered that he had in his possession a number of letters addressed to his former master and signed Li Hung Chang, III. Son of Li Hung Chang, First Secretary to the Chief of the Boxers at Tsi-N an. As the result of much persuasion I succeeded in purchasing the documents for the sum of fourteen taels. Thinking that they might interest or amuse some of my fellow countrymen, I have translated them, and herewith give them to the printer. Fred. Brown.
