Synopsis

St. George and the Chinese Dragon is a historical account of the relief of the Pekin legations during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. The book is written by Henry Bathurst Vaughan, who was an officer of the British contingent involved in the relief mission. The story follows the British troops as they journey to Pekin to rescue the foreign legations that were under siege by Boxer rebels. The book provides a detailed account of the battles and events that took place during the mission, as well as the political and social context of the time. The title of the book refers to the British soldiers being likened to the legendary figure of St. George, who slayed the dragon, in their efforts to rescue the legations. The book is a valuable historical resource for anyone interested in the Boxer Rebellion or British military history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
