Excerpt from The Truth About Opium-Smoking: With Illustrations of the Manufacture of Opium, Etc

The following pages will, it is believed, prove valuable to those who desire to form a sound judgment on some disputed points in the controversy on the Opium question.

That controversy is rapidly becoming one of the foremost questions of the day, and the nature and magnitude of the interests involved, both moral and material, will, now that the issues have been fairly raised, secure for it henceforth a continually increasing measure of public attention until satisfactorily settled.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book compiles the findings and insights from two public meetings exploring the deleterious effects of British trade and consumption of Indian opium in 19th century China. With contributions from Protestant missionaries stationed in China, the book outlines the testimonies of these witnesses on the immediate and long-term effects of opium smoking. As numerous Chinese officials and citizens were unable to attend this conference in person, the testimonies include a variety of perspectives on the impact of the opium trade on Chinese society, the economy, and the overall health of its citizens. In compelling detail, the missionaries provide evidence of how opium smoking is harmful and addictive, and how such addiction inevitably leads to financial ruin and poverty. They also discuss the political motivations that lead to England's insistence on the opium trade, as well as the consequences of this trade for British commerce and morality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332903504_0
