Ills. 28.1 x 35.7cm.Chinese title: JINZUN SHENGYU BIXIE QUANTU 謹遵聖諭辟邪全圖. This work is a reproduction and translation of a xenophobic anti-Christian tract, typical of many produced at the time with the purpose of enflaming hatred against foreigners and the Christian religion. The Yangtse riots followed several years of flooding and scarcity, and for the general background to these and similar riots see Marianne Bastid in Fairbank & Liu (cited below). According to the preface, the author of the work is Zhou Han 周漢, and the tract was published in Changsha 長沙 from the printing house of Deng Maohua 鄧懋華.The main title-page and preface is in English, and opens in the western way. The Chinese text opens from the other side of the fascicle, and each leaf of the Chinese tract is followed by a leaf containing its English translation with notes. The Chinese text is blockprinted, in colour, making this book one of the few printed in colour in 19th century China.This book is not rare, and there are copies of it in the British Library, Oxford, Cambridge and SOAS, as well as several libraries in the United States.
