''From Swatow to Canton'' is a travelogue written by Herbert Allen Giles in 1877. The book describes his journey from Swatow to Canton, two major ports in southern China. Giles was a British diplomat and sinologist who spent many years in China, studying the language and culture. In this book, he provides a detailed account of his travels, including descriptions of the people, places, and customs he encountered along the way. He also discusses the political and economic situation in China at the time, as well as the impact of Western imperialism on the country. This book is an important historical document that provides a fascinating glimpse into China in the late 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Chinese history, culture, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
