About This Item
Stanford.: Stanford University Press.. Second Printing.. 1962.. xii + 429pp, notes, glossary of Chinese characters. Light shelf wear cloth covers, neat signature of a prior owner front free endpaper, a good hardback copy. "The T'ung-chih Restoration marked the first and most nearly successful effort to modify the Chinese state to a point where it could function effectively in the modern world without revolutionary changes in traditional Chinese values or institutions. That the conservative program ultimately failed has diverted attettion from the many accomplishments of this brilliant period: suppression of rebellion, economic rehabilitation, diplomatic gains, restoration of effective administration, and a renewal of the Confucian ideology."
