Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First China Edition, published by Kelly and Walsh in Shanghai. The book was originally published in London in 1900. Octavo, pp vii, 447. Bound in brown cloth covered hard boards and with the original dust jacket.

Weale was a prolific author on China who was present during the western powers' siege of Peking to retake it from th…e Boxers. He was deeply critical of the West's actions during the rebellion, and his Indiscreet letters has been identified by later scholars as not a collection of primary documents but an invention by Weale produced after the events to attack "supine British diplomatic leadership" (Bickers, Britain in China).
