With 32 full=page woodblock plates printed in color. Oblong 4to original printed wrappers sewn spine soiling minor repairs.</p><p>The author Chou Han is described by the translator Griffith John 1831-1912 as 'a gentleman of high official rank Taotai in Hunan' and was part of an orchestrated propaganda campaign aimed at discouraging Western Christian missionaries from working and traveling in China. This volume was perhaps his most significant and horrific attack on western culture managing a "reptile press" in Hunan creating unrest and distrust amongst the Chinese people see John's "A Voice from China" 1907 p. 220. Chou Han himself is probably represented in plates IX XIII XXVI and XXIX; the images are virulently anti-foreigner and specifically anti-Christian. John translated and circulated the present work to draw attention to the British authorities of the problems faced by missionaries in Asia. </p><p>Very Rare.
