China and the Manchus - Herbert Allen Giles - Bog

""China and the Manchus"" is a historical book written by Herbert A. Giles, which explores the history of China from the Manchu invasion in the 17th century to the end of the Qing dynasty in 1912. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Manchu rule, their impact on Chinese society, and the various political, social and cultural changes that occurred during their reign. The author examines the relationship between the Manchus and the Chinese people, and the ways in which the two cultures interacted and influenced each other. The book also covers the various wars and rebellions that took place during this period, including the Opium Wars and the Taiping Rebellion. Overall, ""China and the Manchus"" provides a detailed and insightful account of one of the most important periods in Chinese history, and is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the country's past and present.It is said that no fewer than thirty thousand adherents were executed before the trouble was finally suppressed; from which statement it is easy to gather that under whatever form the White Lily Society may have been originally initiated, its activities were now of a much more serious character, and were, in fact, plainly directed against the power and authority of the Manchus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
