The Other Side Of The Opium Question (1882)

By William James Moore

Book Overview

The Other Side Of The Opium Question is a book written by William James Moore, first published in 1882. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the opium trade and its impact on China, from a perspective that was largely ignored by Western powers at the time. Moore argues that the opium trade was not only detrimental to China's economy and society, but also to the moral character of Western nations involved in the trade. He delves into the history of the opium trade, its effects on Chinese society, and the role of British and American governments in perpetuating the trade. The book also provides a glimpse into the political and economic climate of the time, with a focus on the tensions between China and Western powers. Through his writing, Moore presents a compelling case for the abolition of the opium trade, and highlights the need for a more ethical approach to international trade and relations. The Other Side Of The Opium Question remains a significant work in the history of the opium trade and its impact on China.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
