Facsimile reprint of the original edition: London, Oxford University Press, 1937. With new Introduction and additional notes by D.M. Emrys Evans. This book: "Hong Kong, 1841-1862. Birth, adolescence, and coming of age." is the first of the two works by Geoffrey Robley Sayer on the history of Hong Kong, the second being: "Hong Kong 1862-1919. The years of discretion." The author's long acquaintance with Hong Kong, his knowledge of Chinese, his use of contemporary sources and official documents are all reflected in these works. There are few general works on the origin and development of Hong Kong. Fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
