In addition to his achievements in the Customs service, Hart was a central figure in many other aspects of Chinese administration, including the diplomatic service, the creation of a postal system, the maintenance of harbours and lighthouses and even the establishment of schools for Chinese to study modern technologies and learn foreign languages. Spotting on page front fore-edges; otherwise a very good to near fine copy - binding fine, interior pages clean and completely unmarked. xvi, 949 pp., 21 b&w plates, bibliography, index.
