1925168389London.: Hurst and Blackett. circa1925. Portrait frontispiece 287pp appendix first and last leaves are faintly foxed neat written name of a prior owner on the half-title spine a little sunned but a firm and tight copy. "In the following pages an attempt is made to reveal the facts regarding the more important issues which have arisen between China and the Treaty Powers as a result of the recent disturbances in that country. It seems to be the fashion nowadays in some circles to regard every claim made or right exercised by the foreign Powers in China as "imperialistic" or unreasonable. It does not seem to be generally understood that the so-called "unequal Treaties" constituted the only means at the time at which they were imposed of securing for foreign residents in China reasonable security for their persons their property and their trade. . . . This work was written with no feeling of hostility towards the Chinese among whom the writer is proud to number many close friends. He believes that it is essential that the truth about the more important of China's international problems should be widely known and that no real service would be done to China by ignoring stubborn and irrefutable facts when the question of treaty-revision is seriously taken up. The labour expended upon writing this volume during a brief furlough will be amply rewarded if it contributes to the discussion of China's problems on a basis of reality. It is easy enough for the arm-chair critic or the sentimentalist at home to urge the scrapping of existing Treaties and the relinquishment of the privileges certain foreigners at present enjoy. These people would probably take a very different view if they had lived for any length of time in China and acquired a first-hand knowledge of the actual situation in that country. And I cannot believe that they are doing any real service to China or to their own countrymen by creating the impression that the British and American publics have completely succumbed to Chinese nationalist and Bolshevik propaganda."

1959185410Beijing: no stated publisher 1959. A grandiose photobook First and only edition with a printed compliments card from the preparatory committee for the anniversary celebrations. Though unmarked as such this copy was owned by Solomon Adler one of the select group of Westerners permanently resident in China during the Mao era. The 1959 festivities signalled China's growing independence on the international stage and its stepping out of the Kremlin's shadow.

It begins with the text of addresses by Liu Shaoqi Zhou Enlai Lin Biao Deng Xiaoping and Song Qingling followed by vistas of famous architectural landmarks such as Tiananmen Square and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution. Photos of a meeting and banquet held in the Great Hall of the People accompany shots from the National Day parade showing fireworks dancing and flowers. Mao and Khrushchev feature prominently as do images of diplomatic events and of politicians inspecting industrial exhibits architectural landmarks and cultural artefacts. An economist by training Adler 1909-1994 worked in the US in the 1940s but later fell under suspicion during the "red scare." After a period spent at Cambridge University he moved to China in 1962 living in Beijing until his death three decades later and working on the official Chinese translation into English of Mao's Selected Works.
