Abstract

128 China Review International: Vol. 5, No. 1, Spring 1998 which plays such an important part in our understanding of the political economy of the Qing period. Having worked so closely with the anthology, Dunstan is sensitive to both its richness and its problems, and thus it is a pity that she did not say more about these. What, for instance, was the intention of the compilers in bringing together the collection, and what criteria did they employ in selecting documents for inclusion in their anthology? What particular problems should readers of the anthology be wary of? Many instructors will be able to guide students on these matters, but few would have the intimate knowledge of the anthology that Dunstan has, and thus discussions of diese things would have enhanced the value of a book that will undoubtedly be of great benefit to teachers and students. All students of late imperial China will be grateful to Helen Dunstan for sharing these close readings of important source materials. It is an excellent documentary study that should prove of considerable value both to students of Chinese history and to those interested in comparative political economy. And by pushing forward the
