(This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive.) "The 'Fan Kwae' at Canton Before Treaty Days 1825-1844" by William C. Hunter is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the unique conditions of foreign traders in Canton, China, prior to the major treaties that altered these dynamics. It delves into the lives of foreign merchants and their interactions with local Chinese society, providing insights into an era marked by stark cultural contrasts and emerging global trade networks. The opening of the book serves as an introduction to the foreign community in Canton, illustrating the restrictions placed on foreign presence and trade by the Chinese government. Hunter reflects on the landscape of the Canton River and its bustling environment, filled with ships and diverse cultures, creating a vivid picture of the unique position of foreign residents. Through anecdotes and observations about the traders aboard the ship 'Citizen,' the narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the complex relationships established between "foreign barbarians" and the local Chinese populace amidst rigid regulations and cultural barriers.
