Excerpt from Banking and Prices in China
This volume is the third of a series of works prepared by the late J. Edkins, D.D., for the Imperial Maritime Customs; the two earlier works being "Chinese Currency" (1901) and "The Revenue and Taxation of the Chinese Empire" (1903). The veteran sinologue was engaged on this work at the time of his death on the 23rd April, 1905, and it was left incomplete, literally in the middle of a sentence. Though incomplete it is now given to the public on account of the historical information of great value to be found in its pages.
