Gilds Of China W An Account Of PDF Download

Excerpt from The Gilds of China: With an Account of the Gild Merchant or Co-Hong of Canton I bring to the subject a certain degree of personal knowledge, but I have always referred to information already in print, whenever it existed. Where there is no reference to other authorities, the fact stated must be accepted on my own authority, either from my personal observation, or coming from my study of Chinese history and social institutions.
