A new survey of late Ch'ing history

Abstract

Volume 11 of the Cambridge history of China, the third of the series to appear thus far, is a welcome continuation of Volume 10, which had dealt with the earlier part of the late Ch'ing period. It has been constructed on the same principles as its predecessor, with its contributors, well-known specialists in their field, seeking to present a synthesis of their subject. Hence, it is also basically a collection of essays and thus necessitates a brief mention of each contribution.
