Inside Canton is a book written by Melchior Yvan in 1858. It is a detailed account of the author’s experiences and observations during his time in the city of Canton, China. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the city’s history, culture, customs, and economy. Yvan provides an in-depth analysis of the city’s trade practices, particularly the opium trade, which was a major source of conflict between China and Western powers at the time. He also describes the daily life of the people of Canton, their social customs, and the city’s architecture and landmarks. The book provides a unique perspective on China during a period of significant change and upheaval, as Western powers exerted increasing influence over the country. Overall, Inside Canton is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the complexities of Chinese society and the impact of Western imperialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
