Item description from seller

First edition, first printing, including measures on pensions for the widows and orphans of public officers, a ban on smoking around naval establishments and military magazines, and restrictions on the sale and export of firearms. 1900 marked the midway period of Governor Blake's time in office. "The Hong Kong emblem showing the blossom of the Bauhinia blakeana is a legacy of Blake's governorship; he had a strong interest in botany, and the tree (like Blaketown in Newfoundland) was named in his honour" (DIB). Octavo. With 3 folding tables, tables and Chinese characters in text. Original stiff blue boards, black cloth backstrip, front cover lettered in black. A little shaken, binding lightly worn, bumping and chipping at fore-edge, text unaffected: a very good copy.
