Britain and the China Trade: British Commerce and the Opening of China, 1635-1842. Hardcover. 10-Volume-set Edited by Patrick Tuck, with a new introduction 1999.

However, his coverage of the subject was uneven, and so his treatment of the period of the later 18th and early 19th Century dealings between the East India Company and China are usefully complemented by this set Click here for more product information
