""China and the Manchus"" is a historical book written by Herbert A. Giles. The book provides a detailed account of the Manchu dynasty and its impact on China's political and social landscape. The author explores the origins of the Manchus and how they came to power in China, as well as their cultural and linguistic differences from the Han Chinese. The book also delves into the Manchu's policies towards the Chinese people, including their efforts to maintain their own identity while ruling over a predominantly Han population. Additionally, the author examines the Manchu's relationship with Western powers, particularly during the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion. Overall, ""China and the Manchus"" offers a comprehensive and insightful look into the history of China and the Manchu dynasty.It is said that no fewer than thirty thousand adherents were executed before the trouble was finally suppressed; from which statement it is easy to gather that under whatever form the White Lily Society may have been originally initiated, its activities were now of a much more serious character, and were, in fact, plainly directed against the power and authority of the Manchus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
