The Opium Question Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Opium Question The writer of this Pamphlet having had occasion to consider the facts giving rise to the important and embarrassing 'Opium Question, ' has occupied the leisure afforded him by the Christmas recess, in preparing the ensuing pages for the public. He feels the greatest diffidence in committing them to the press; and is certain that it will have been entirely his fault, if the reader do not find the subject to be one possessed of remarkable interest in all its details.
