    Description

    1840 U.S. Congress imprint, 26th Congress, 1st Session, Doc. No. 110, titled "TRADE WITH CHINA", with a message from President Martin Van Buren, transmitting to Congress the report from the Secretary of State, "respecting the condition of the citizens of the United States doing business in China, the state of the American trade with that country, &c., &c."
    80 pgs., approx. 5-1/2" x 8-3/4".
    Fascinating content regarding the heightened tensions in China over the
    Opium Trade
    engaged in by foreign nations, despite the Emperor's edict banning its sale and use, and executing immediately anyone selling the drug. There are reports from American Consuls in China, from American Naval vessels, and edicts and messages from the Emperor and his representatives, as well as Chinese merchant groups.
    Disbound. Small stains on front page. Contents are tight and clean. Fine.
