Published in 1866, this two-volume work is a passionate account of the momentous Taiping Rebellion of 1850-64, which spread across southern China, involving the death of around 20 million people. An English officer and supporter of the rebels, Augustus Frederick Lindley (1840-73) actively fought for them and believed devotedly in their cause. Led by Christian convert Hong Xiuquan, they rose up against the ruling Qing dynasty in an attempt to force social, commercial and religious reforms, but were eventually brutally crushed with the aid of British and French forces. Prior to his death at the age of only thirty-three, Lindley produced this accomplished work of historical exposition and anti-imperialism. Volume 2 focuses particularly on the actions and character of General Charles Gordon, whose forces were responsible for many atrocities, but who enjoyed great popularity in Britain. It also details the effects of the British government's Chinese policy.

"The study of man, from any stand-point, is interesting. His anatomical structure is wonderful. His physiology, with the vital organs of breathing, circulation, digestion, and assimilation, furnishes the materials for illimitable investigation. But when we come to the nervous system, including the brain, the organ through which mind is manifested, we seem to approach the verge of another world. From this, the highest and most comprehensive stand-point, we may trace, locate, and name the various nerves, arteries, and veins through all their ramifications and discover the particular office or function of each; but what can we know of the immortal mind? We can comprehend something of matter, its properties and uses, but almost nothing of the mind itself, save that it occupies and uses the body for a time, and then drops it to return to the God who gave it. Hitherto but partial observations have been made, and of course only partial results obtained. We look on man as a whole--made up of parts, and to be studied as a whole, with all the parts combined"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
