IHE Publication of this Work has been undertaken in order to meet a requirement long expressed and widely recognised. The present collection brings together and renders available for general purposes of reference all the TREATIES that have been concluded between CHINA and FOREIGN
POWERS, together with the greater portion of the various REGULATIONS which have been successively agreed upon during the last sixteen years; and the TREATY of Peace, é&c. between JAPAN and COREA (Cuosex.) Several instruments, though not now in force, find place in the work, as the French Treaty of 1844, and the U.S. Treaty of same year; also, the Emigration Convention of 1866, and the Articles of Revision negotiated 1868-1869, by Sir Rurnzrrorp Atcocx, K.C.B. The work will be in a handy form.
