A history, guide and some anecdotes relating to Canton. “The increasing imortance, both commercially and politically, of Canton city on which the eyes of the world are more and more focussed makes the almost complete absence of current literature dealing wi the great metropolis of South China all the more conspicuous… The stories forming Part III of the book were originally contributed by the author to the China Journal, Shanghai, and published in that journal at various dates between 1933 and 1936.” (Preface). Very rare. Only two copies in OCLC.
