To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under such conditions the heathens soon sued for peace. Their cities and towns had been bombarded and some of them destroyed, and many lives had been sacrificed to save the country from the evil that was being forced upon them b)- a Christian (?) nation. But these people died in vain! A treaty of peace was concluded and signed in 1842, which provided that four additional ports were to be opeiKtl to English trade and that opium must be admit- ted without molestation. In addition to this, the Chi...nese were compelled to pa)' the English $21, 000, 000 as indemnity and cede to them the Island of Hong Kong, which the Queen holds to-day. Such was the impetus given to the opium trade by the war, which is known in history as " The Opium War, " that in 1850 the amount sent into China was not far from three million pounds. The traffic continued and still continues under the protest of the Chinese Em- peror.
There is not recorded in the history of modern nations so dark a blot as that borne by the British on account of the opium war.
