A few thousand French people took part in shaping this part of the city of Shanghai, which for a century was known as the "French Concession" - where in the 1920s some 250,000 Chinese lived. In 1847, Charles de Montigny and his family arrived in Shanghai to establish a French Consulate and negotiate with the Chinese to set up a concession, a territory where French law would apply and where the French themselves could acquire property. In 1862, there were three concessions in Shanghai: the English concession - the oldest, and the American and French concessions. This history of the French Concession in Shanghai is divided into two periods - the first the early days 1848-1860 with much on the Taiping Rebellion, the second the growth and organisation of the Concession 1860 - 1890 supported by two appendices which includes a list of the French consuls in office between 1848 and 1875 and a bibliography. A useful and detailed work. text in French. N° de réf. du vendeur 215998
