| China and the Manchus |
| Herbert Allen Giles (1845-1935) was a British linguist who modified a Mandarin Chinese Romanization system established by Thomas Wade earlier, resulting in the Wade-Giles Chinese transliteration system. Giles was a diplomat to China (1867-1892) who later became a Chinese professor at Cambridge. This book "China and the Manchu" is his classic detailed history of the Manchu Empire and its 300 year reign in China. |
