Excerpt from China, a Medical Point of View: In 1860 and 1861, to Which Is Added a Chapter on Nagasaki as a Sanitarium The late expedition to China has afforded opportunities not heretofore available to Englishmen of making observations, upon a tolerably extensive scale, in regard to the climate of several portions of that great but disorganized empire, of inquiring into the various productions of its soil, and of investigating the phenomena of disease, as well as its ravages among our troops employed there. In the following pages I endeavour to give a faithful record of my observations in regard to these matters, introducing, from time to time, as I proceed, such remarks upon various other subjects as I think likely to interest the reader. If we may judge from the present aspect of affairs in China, further military operations there may confidently be looked for. Probably no expedition was ever more completely fitted out in all its departments, and certainly none could have been more successful, than the one sent out to avenge our disasters at the mouth of the Peiho.
