Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. During Mr. Little's absence in China, the proofs of this book were kindly read for me by my colleague at the London School of Economics, Mr. A. J. Sargent, to whom my thanks are due. Mr. Little returned in time to see the last revise.
