The second edition of this work.

In the publisher's original illustrated cloth.

Illustrated with thirty-one monochrome plates. The frontispiece is missing from the work. Collated complete.

A vibrantly descriptive account of Little's travels in China, where the author had eventually settled. Mrs Archibald Little, born in 1845, became best known for her travel writing and campaign against the Chinese custom of foot-binding.

This work includes a chapter on her 'anti foot-binding tour' to Hankow, Wuchang, Han-Yang, Canton and Hong-Kong.
