China and the Powers: A Narrative of the Outbreak of 1900 (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 2018 - 366 sivua Excerpt from China and the Powers: A Narrative of the Outbreak of 1900 I have not attempted any account of the Siege of Peking, and I have only given a mere epitome of the Seymour Expedition, inasmuch as there have already been full narratives of both but I have described at considerable length the investment and bombardment of the foreign settlements at Tientsin, and the assault and capture of the Tientsin native city, as they were of great interest; nor, so far as I know, has there as yet been any detailed description of them.
