From the Foreword by Sir Robert Scott: "For generations the name Giles has been known to students of China throughout the world. The diary now published is yet another contribution to sinology by a member of the Giles family. Yong Lance Giles was finishing his first year in Peking when the siege of the LEgations took place in 1900. He recorded his impressions and activities during the siege in a letter to his father, written in diary style. This came into the hands of Leslie R. Marchant of the University of Western Australia, sixty-five years later." ; Ex-Library; 9.61 X 6.22 X 1.10 inches; 239 pages, Good+ with no dust jacket Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
