A good copy of a now remarkably scarce work profusely illustrated with remarkable black and white photographic portraits and panoramas, and detailed chapters on everything from history, geography, culture and specific industries like shipping, manufacturing, agriculture, and trade. Whilst earlier works in the series focussed exclusively on British colonial interests (Western Australia, Natal, Ceylon and British Malaya), the editor notes that: "More than one half the imports and exports of China passes through the various Treaty Ports, and it would have been a negation of one of the avowed objects of these publications if no attempt had been to show the present-day tendency of this trade and how the proportion borne by the British Empire compares with that of its competitors". The series served as a handsome soft power testament to British colonial might and aspiration.
