History Of Hong Kong (1895)

The History of Hong Kong, written by Ernest John Eitel in 1895, is a comprehensive account of the development of Hong Kong from its earliest days to the late 19th century. The book covers the arrival of the British in the early 19th century, the Opium Wars, the establishment of Hong Kong as a British colony, and the growth of the city into a major economic and cultural center. Eitel provides detailed descriptions of the city's architecture, culture, and society, as well as its political and economic history. The book also includes a discussion of the role of Hong Kong in the larger context of British imperialism in Asia. This classic work remains an important resource for scholars and students of Hong Kong history, as well as anyone interested in the history of British colonialism and the development of modern Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
