Lindley 1840 -1873 British officer writer and adventurer who fought for the Taiping insurgents in their rebellion against the Manchu dynasty one of the largest and bloodiest civil wars in history. The Taiping Rebellion 1850-64 was instigated by Hong Xiuquan and his followers whose goal was to create a "Heavenly Kingdom" in China with Christianity as the official religion. Lindley was a Royal Navy officer stationed in Hong Kong who resigned his commission in 1860 to work for a Taiping general as an artillery instructor. He also became a spokesperson for the cause courting Western support and procuring weapons and supplies. His wife Maria the daughter of the Portuguese consul at Macau served in the rebellion as a sniper and was killed in an ambush. Lindley remained in China until the fall of the Heavenly Kingdom in 1864. Two years later he wrote this work the only detailed account written of the Taiping Rebellion from the rebels' perspective.<br /> <br /> Two volumes royal 8vo: Vol I xvii iii 424pp; Vol II: vii i 425-842 complete.

19286054Shanghai China: February 24 1928. Very good. 1p. plus colored woodblock print 21.5 x 12.5 inches. With original envelope. Old folds minor wear. Mimeographed fundraising letter sent by Reverend H.G.C. Hallock to a supporter in Vermont. Henry Galloway Comingo Hallock 1870-1951 was a West Virginia native who studied at Princeton Theological Seminary. He moved to China as a Presbyterian missionary and teacher in 1905 where he taught Sunday School served as a pastor and also taught theology at St. John's University in Shanghai. He survived war disease famine and a Japanese prison during World War II; he died in China in 1951. One thing that set Hallock apart was his inclusion of local Chinese woodblock prints with his fundraising letters which today have become desirable collectibles. Such a print is present here showing the God of War Wu-ti. His letter opens discussing the print:<br /> <br /> "Wars in China suggest sending you 'Wu-ti' the Chinese god-of-war. . The general idea about Wu-ti is that he delights in war. That is not the Chinese idea of him. . Officials and scholars worship him as the ideal of loyalty soldiers do it to make them brave and protect them in battle and the people worship him to protect them from war's horrors. He's called 'Peace Bringer Protector Great God of Loyalty.' But he makes not peace nor protects nor makes loyal so is a failure. He's also called 'Warrior Prince.' As to that name he's a great success! There are lots of wars."<br /> <br /> He goes on to discuss the many conflicts which are like "a real Chinese puzzle" noting that it's not the people of China who are at issue or fault. "Recently I have received letters from America suggesting that since 'China has altogether gone to the bad and the Chinese are absolutely impossible' and since our 'work among them has gone for nothing' then I should 'quit and come home.' I hope you don't think thus. The masses of Chinese tho reminding me of 'dumb driven cattle' are still friendly as ever. The war-lords the Nationalists the Reds the bandits wars and evil propaganda are disturbing elements; but they are NOT China nor the Chinese. . The troubles in China have come from a fiercely aggressive and 'noisy minority' who make the great mass of Chinese suffer untold hardships." He goes on to defend the Christian work being done in China as of great benefit to the people. February 24 unknown

193420978Nanchang Kiangsi China: The Association for the Advancement of New Life Movement 1934. Good condition. Pamphlet touting the benefits of the Chinese government led civic education program known as the New Life Movement established by General Chiang Kai-shek to promote cultural reform combat corruption and unite China under a centralized ideology.<br /> <br /> China at the time had been threatened by Western imperialism as well as rising Japanese militarism and communism. <br /> <br /> The New Life Movement stressed traditional Confucian morality and the Methodist notion of self-cultivation as the solution to the perceived degeneration of the Chinese people and was considered by the Kuomintang to be key element of Sun Yat Sen's Three Principles of the People. In China the New Life Movement ended in 1949. <br /> <br /> Chiang launched this movement from his Nanjing headquarters when he was the leader of the Republic of China. He expelled Chinese communists from the party and led a successful unification of China. Despite a professed focus on reform Chiang's government concentrated on battling Communism within China as well as confronting Japanese aggression. When the Allies declared war on Japan in 1941 China took its place among the Big Four. Civil war broke out in 1946 ending in a victory by Mao Zedong's Communist forces and the creation of the People's Republic of China. From 1949 until his death Chiang led the KMT government in exile in Taiwan which many countries continued to recognize as China's legitimate government. <br /> <br /> The 'Contents' include the Beginning of the New Life Movement NLM; The Unification and Promotion of the NLM; the Future of the NLM; The Important Speeches of General Chiang Kai-Shek; The Slogans Rules and Emblem of the NLM; Outline of the NLM; Appendix: The Staff of the General Association for the Promotion of the NLM. The Appendix last 2p comprises a list of the organizations staff; President Chiang Kai Sheh 32 Directors a Director-in-Chief a General Secretary Secretary and Head of the First Second & Third Departments and 18 Secretaries.

1911249371911. Photography. A group of 13 vernacular photographs printed on postcards taken in 1911 by an American who was involved in supporting the Xinhai Revolution of 1911. The postcards are all annotated on the verso and give a picture of US involvement in San Francisco Yokohama and Canton. Two postcards illustrate the ties with Japan. One is a photo of a group of six Japanese in Western clothing including a young woman in a large open touring car with the annotation "This picture was taken in front of the Clift sic House Aug. 20 1911. " Cliff house was a prominent hotel in San Francisco. At this time the U.S. Navy was entertaining the Japanese training squadron in San Francisco. Another card shows two American men in rickshaws "Jinrikshas in Yokohama Japan". We presume that these men were the American naval attachés or diplomats. The other 11 images are taken in Canton and two are related to the "72 Martyrs" that were beheaded. The annotations on the verso read:<br /> "Martyrs" who were beheaded by orders of Imperial Government for part they took in destroying the Viceroy's office 4/27/11. Soldiers are lined up on opposite side of pond just below people standing on embankment.; 11/19/11 Soldiers Rebels & sympathizers holding religious services at the graves of 72 "martyrs" buried in Canton cemetery. These were beheaded by orders of Imperial Govt. for party they took in destroying the Viceroy's office - 4/27/11. The rest are views of Canton-Canton River sampans & S. S. Wilmington in the distance American Gun boat; English Bridge Shameen to Canton a sign advertising "Yuen Hang Boulanger Canton" hangs to the right of the bridge; French Bridge Shameen to Canton this rather poor film; "One of the Bravest" on Shameen - looking up Central Ave. a soldier with a white domed hat and white puttees; Another view of the English Bridge Shameen to Canton; The American Consul's residence & office; Rear entrance to American consul's office - building on right used by the consul's coolies. Dr. Swan of Canton Hospital in his private sedan chair; along the Bund of Kook Four a suburb of Canton; View from the French Concession of Shameen looking towards Canton & near "French" Bridge. The Xinhai Revolution pinyin: Xinhài Gémìng also known as the Chinese Revolution or the Revolution of 1911 was a revolution that overthrew China's last imperial dynasty the Qing dynasty and established the Republic of China ROC. The revolution consisted of many revolts and uprisings. The turning point was the Wuchang uprising on 10 October 1911 which was the result of the mishandling of the Railway Protection Movement. The revolution ended with the abdication of the six-year-old Last Emperor Puyi on 12 February 1912 that marked the end of 2000 years of imperial rule and the beginning of China's early republican era. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen led the Xinhai Revolution to victory in 1911. <br /> The Republic of China in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China on the mainland both consider themselves the legitimate successors to the Xinhai Revolution and honor the ideals of the revolution including nationalism republicanism modernization of China and national unity. 10 October is commemorated in Taiwan as Double Ten Day the National Day of the ROC. In mainland China Hong Kong and Macau the day is celebrated as the Anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution. Wikipedia. unknown
