This is a study of the first three decades of British rule in Hong Kong. It focuses on the troubled and controversial process of establishing a British colony at Hong Kong and on the reception of British rule by people in the region. This neglected period in Hong Kong's history demands a fresh examination, not only because these were years crowded with events and controversies, but also because they saw the working out of a lasting relationship between the colonial government and the Chinese population.

Christopher Munn's book is an important contribution to scholarship; it greatly advances our knowledge of the relations between Chinese and Europeans in the 1840s-1870s. All those interested in the history of Hong Kong should read this splendid work.' - The China Review
