Rezensionen / Stimmen
Paul A. Van Dyke's Merchants of Canton and Macao is an invaluable addition to our knowledge of Sino-Western trade in the eighteenth century. The level of detail is outstanding, amassed from a rich source base in multiple languages. And from that data base Van Dyke brings the financial actors in this complex commercial story vividly to life. -- Jonathan Spence, author of The Search for Modern China
