THE PAST AND FUTURE OF BRITISH TRADE IN CHINA
RIGHT from the very beginning of our intercourse with China until the present day, the main object has been trade For that we need feel no shame, since trade benefits all who take part in it. For the firet two centuries, down to 1834, the history of the British in China was the old practically the history of Honourable East India Company. Just about The century ago, however, the national spirit of independence naserted itself, and the so-called "Iree traders appeared in Canton to challenge the
· HUMPHREYS ESTATE & FINANCE nopoly of the Company. It was chicfy due to the sturdy-independence of spirit and the national characteristics of those early free-traders that the British Parlia ment dissolved the trade monopoly of a Company whose record in China did not enhance ous national prestige. In 1838 an Act of Parliament declared it ex- pedient "for the objects of trade and amicable intercourse with the Dominions of the Emperor of China to establish "a. British Authority in the said Dominions." The British Government was authorised by Parliament to send Trade, one of whom was to preside over out to Chise three Buperintendents of & Court of Justice with Criminal and Admiralty Jurisdiction" in that part of the world. It is worth noting that the first, Government officials sent out to tako up: permatient appointments in China wers Superintendents of Trade, the East India Company had expired, the Chief Administrative Officer in the Far East of the British Empire was called the Superintendent of Trade.
