First Edition. First edition in English, 8vo, pp. viii, 239, [1]; 4 maps and 1 plan in the text; previous owner's bookplate, inscription in Chinese on front free endpaper (possibly authorial); fine copy in a fine dust jacket. "In this the first detailed study in English of the mercantile activities and social role of Tianjin's salt merchants, Kwan Man Bun reveals how they helped stablise the city and assumed many civic responsibilities, providing relief, charities, and other services to their fellow citizenry. Although these developments resemble the emergence of an idealised 'public sphere' as in Europe, Kwan makes clear that Tianjin's social changes were not grounded on 'rational discourse' but rather drew their strength and continuity from merchant networks based on exclusivity, wealth, education, and kinship" (jacket blurb).
