About This Item
Richmond, Surrey: Curzon Press, 1999. Some fading to the spine of unclipped dustwrapper but titles thereon are still clear, a few old water splash-marks to top edge of book, also a smell suggesting that the book has been kept in a shed or similar, though this should fade. Otherwise a good tight copy of this hard-cover book dealing with Captain Charles Elliot, the first British Administrator of Hong Kong, who negotiated the cession of Hong Kong to Britain. 290pp. 35 b&w illustrations, 2 maps.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
