Bibliography
I. BOOKS AND ARTICLES
Much has been written about Hong Kong since it became a British Colony over 100 years ago but almost all of this literature is out of print and is unlikely to be found outside the libraries of the British Museum, the University of Hong Kong, the Toyo Bunko, Tokyo, the School of Oriental and African Studies, London and the Colonial Office. Students are advised to consult the indices of these libraries.
In the following list, which is not comprehensive, the items marked with an asterisk are those which are easy to obtain at the present time. The unmarked books and articles are not easily obtainable and include several rarities but they have been listed because they are con- sidered to be of great interest and historical value and the best of the literature relating to the Colony.
