Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. London: John Murray, 1862. Octavo (8 1/ 4" x 5 1/ 2", 225mm x 140mm) With frontispiece and 15 engraved plates, 2 folding maps, text illustrations, and 12pp. of publisher's ads, dated November 1861. Bound in original pebbled red cloth with central gilt vignette on front. Gilt-lettered smooth spine. Illustrated from sketches by Dr. Alfred Barton with maps by John Arrosmith. Extremities and head and tail of spine rubbed. Light toning and rough edges. W.H. Smith & Son (bookseller's embossed stamp on front free endpaper); Allan G. Mossop Shanghi (ownership manuscript on half-title); Edmonds & Remnants, London (binder's ticket on rear pastedown). In 1861, Thomas Wright Blakiston (1832-1891) embarked on an ambitious expedition up the Yangtze River, the third longest river in the world. He set out from Shanghai with the goal of exploring the middle and upper courses of the river. At this time, China was in turmoil due to the Taiping Rebellion. Blakiston's expedition was remarkably successful, as he traveled 1,800 miles upriver from Shanghai, reaching as far as Pingshan. This feat was extraordinary, as it took him 900 miles further than any previous Western explorer had ventured along the Yangtze. However, Blakiston was ultimately forced to turn back to Shanghai due to insurgent activities in the region. Sir Allan George Mossop (1887-1965), served as the Chief Judge of the British Supreme Court for China from 1933 to 1943. The court's operations were disrupted at the onset of the Pacific War when Japanese troops occupied the courthouse in Shanghai on 8 December 1941 and Mossop was subsequently interned for five months before being repatriated to England. His appointment as judge was formally terminated in May 1943 following the ratification of the Sino-British Treaty for the Relinquishment of Extra-Territorial Rights in China, which effectively dissolved the court.

Publisher's gilt cloth, somewhat faded and extremities lightly rubbed. Bookplate.First edition of a scarce work which for many years was considered the standard on the region including an accurate map of the river from Hankow to Pingshan. Thomas W. Blakiston (1832-91) was a British army officer and naturalist stationed in Canton during the Second Opium War in 1859. He organised an exploration of the middle and upper reaches of the Yang-tze-Kiang in 1861. The mission was to ascend the river as far as Min and then cross the province of Szechuan and reach northwestern India via Tibet and Lhasa. The party reached Pingshan after travelling eighteen hundred miles from Shanghai which was further than any other European explorer before them. This narrative contains interesting information about the country including fauna and flora, and also comments on the politically unstable situation in China at the time. The illustrations are by Alfred Barton. Cordier BS 121. L??wendahl 1263.…
