Published in 1861, this critique of Sir John Barrow's 1804 Travels in China is an attempt by the author to debunk Barrow's reputation as the foremost authority on contemporary China. Pouring scorn on Barrow's knowledge, memory, and honesty, Proudfoot challenges every aspect of the earlier work's reliability and worth.
