James Matheson
A leading trader in Canton (Guangzhou), James Matheson (1796–1878) became a Hong Kong taipan. Published in 1836, this was his response to the severe restrictions placed by the Chinese upon trading. It is a provocative text: a defence of both free trade and an aggressive foreign policy.
