Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The traditional Chinese science and practice of FengShui works with vital currents that are influenced by heavenly bodies and which permeate the earths surface and regulate its cycles of fertility. Modern concern about the threat to the earths continued life and fertility has brought about a revival of interest in this science which was based on principles of cooperation between mankind and nature. First published in 1873, Ernest J. Eitels Feng-Shui remains the best classical treatise on the subject ever written. As such, it offers a unique perspective on a subject that has since been heavily commercialized in the West. This edition includes nine engravings of Chinese landscapes by nineteenth century artist Thomas Allom. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 1873. This is a short monograph about Feng Shui, the principle of humanity being in balance with its surroundings. Eitel, a missionary, who took a post in China, first brought Feng Shui to the attention of the western world over a century ago. Because of his Christian doctrine, Eitel is somewhat dismissive of Chinese culture, but he grudgingly admits that there may be some grain of truth in Feng Shui. Contents: The Laws of Nature; The Numerical Proportions of Nature; The Breath of Nature; The Forms and Outlines of Nature; and The History and Literature of Feng-shui.

Initially, Eitel traces the history of Sino-British relations under the domination of the East India Company from 1625 to 1834. The second portion traces the course of British public opinion and government policy toward China following the failure of Lord Napier's mission to Canton in 1834. During this period public sentiment grew for the establishment of a British colony in China. The final portion deals with the pre-British history of Hong Kong, the cession of Hong Kong to British in 1841, and the administrative history of the colony. The administrative history is a term by term account of the affairs of Hong Kong under each governor that served there between 1841 and 1882. This volume contains considerable data on the politics, finances, social problems, trade and commerce of Hong Kong.
