Harris introduces an extraordinary collection of primary sources covering China’s long nineteenth century (1793-1912) that allows readers to understand how the Manchu emperors and the multiethnic subjects of the Great Qing Empire experienced this tumultuous period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I continue to be particularly impressed by the way that the questions force readers to analyze the documents. This reader is really set up to create a dialogue between teachers and students as they work through the documents. I am also even more aware after this reading about how this reader may serve a launch pad for research projects by students. This provides a real possibility that students can develop a real primary based investigation. Crucial to this is how the editor also made great efforts to include list of other contemporaneous publications in the readings sections. Having additional documents for the reader available digitally is a great feature. This will extend the advantage of the reader as a whole.”  Edward McCord, George Washington University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents Acknowledgements Qing Reign Periods Terms of Measurement, Units of Currency, and Bureaucratic Titles  Introduction  1 The Macartney Audience, 1793  2 The Last Will and Testament of the Qianlong Emperor, 1799  3 The Case against Heshen, 1799  4 The Downfall of a Governor-General in the White Lotus Rebellion, 1800  5 The Eight Trigrams Rebellion, 1813  6 An English Barbarian Ship, 1832  7 The Opium Debate, 1836  8 The Opium War, 1839–1842  9 Surviving the Taiping Rebellion, 1850–1864  10 The Coup d’état of 1861  11 End of the Miao Rebellions, 1872  12 The Incredible Famine, 1876–1879  13 Imperial Rainmaking Practices, 1875–1879  14 The Dalai Lama and the Qing Empire, 1879–1910  15 Crime and Punishment  16 Honoring Old Age  17 Honoring the Gods  18 The Cult of Female Chastity  19 “True Stories” of Filial Piety  20 “Tribute” Missions to the Qing Empire  21 The Making of Taiwan Province, 1872–1887  22 The Sino-French War, 1884–1885  23 Anti-Missionary Violence, 1891–1899  24 The Sino-Japanese War, 1894–1895  25 The Hundred Days’ Reforms, 1898  26 The Return of the Empress Dowager Cixi, 1898  27 The Boxer Uprising, 1899–1900  28 New Policies Reforms, 1901–1911  29 The 1911 Revolution  30 The Abdication, 1912  Chinese Name List","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210745962839,"sku":"9789004360990","price":172.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-peking-gazette-a-reader-in-nineteenth-century-chinese-history-9789004360990","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
