Description Of Peking

""Description of Peking"" is a historical travelogue written by Joseph Edkins in 1898. The book provides a detailed account of the city of Beijing (formerly known as Peking) during the late 19th century. It covers various aspects of the city, including its geography, architecture, culture, religion, and politics. The author, who was a British sinologist and missionary, offers insights into the daily life of the local people, their customs and traditions, and the challenges they faced under the rule of the Qing dynasty. The book also includes illustrations and maps, which provide a visual representation of the city and its landmarks. ""Description of Peking"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of China, particularly during the late Qing dynasty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
