The 'Haiguo Tuzhi' (Illustrated Gazetteer of the Maritime Kingdoms) is a massive 19th-century Chinese work that was expanded into 50, 60, and eventually 100 chapters. While key ideological sections and excerpts have been translated in scholarly anthologies and monographs (such as those by Jane Kate Leonard and De Bary), no complete, cover-to-cover English translation of the entire work or its individual volumes has been published. This edition of Volume 4 represents a first complete translation of this specific portion of the text.

About This Book
geographyhistorymilitarypolitics
Forget everything you thought you knew about Asia's borders. Wei Yuan’s revolutionary volume is a mid-19th-century wake-up call that maps the rise of Western colonialism and the urgent necessity of military modernization, asking: how can the East survive the encroaching 'Red Barbarians'?
