Original o primera edición
First edition, sole printing, of the detailed internal 1936 staff list for the Chinese Maritime Customs Service. This copy is from the library of Charles Williams, an honorary Commissioner in the service and a distinguished sinologist. Between 1875 and 1948, the Service published an annual list containing basic information on all members of staff and their responsibilities. These volumes, only ever distributed for internal use, represent a valuable record of the Service's contributions to the economic and political history of modern China. Though not marked as such, the present copy was formerly owned by Charles Alfred Speed Williams, a scholar-official who entered the Service in 1903 at the junior level of Fourth Assistant and rose through the ranks. In 1935, his year of retirement, he was one of only a few dozen senior officials serving at the Commissioner or Acting Commissioner grade. On retirement, he was made an honorary Commissioner, in which position he could expect to continue receiving internal publications. His colourful experiences were later recorded in his autobiographical work Chinese Tribute (1969). The Chinese Maritime Customs Service was founded in 1854 by Britain and other foreign powers to collect taxes on maritime trade for the Chinese government, but its remit quickly expanded to include domestic customs administration, the postal service, waterway and harbour management, and meteorology. These areas of responsibility inevitably overlapped with diplomatic and political issues, making the Service one of the most powerful bureaucratic entities in the country. Williams is also well-known for his Outlines of Chinese Symbolism and Art Motives: An Alphabetical Compendium of Antique Legends and Beliefs, as Reflected in the Manners and Customs of the Chinese (1931), a work that went through multiple editions over several decades. Quarto. Original yellow card wrappers, titles to spine and front cover in black. Inkstamped date (8 July 1936) to front wrapper. Small tears at spine ends, wrappers lightly foxed with a few marks, final leaf with small tears where detached from rusted staples. A very good copy.

First edition, sole printing, of the detailed internal 1935 staff list for the Chinese Maritime Customs Service. This copy is from the library of Charles Williams, a senior official in the Service, and was issued in his retirement year. Between 1875 and 1948, the Service published an annual list containing basic information on all members of staff and their responsibilities. These volumes, only ever distributed for internal use, represent a valuable record of the Service's contributions to the economic and political history of modern China. Though not marked as such, the present copy was formerly owned by Charles Alfred Speed Williams, a scholar-official who entered the Service in 1903 at the junior level of Fourth Assistant and rose through the ranks. It records that, by 1935, Williams worked alongside over 9,000 other foreign and Chinese employees, and he was one of only a few dozen senior officials serving at the Commissioner or Acting Commissioner grade. Late in the year, he retired from duty, and his colourful experiences were later recorded in his autobiographical work Chinese Tribute (1969). The Chinese Maritime Customs Service was founded in 1854 by Britain and other foreign powers to collect taxes on maritime trade for the Chinese government, but its remit quickly expanded to include domestic customs administration, the postal service, waterway and harbour management, and meteorology.

Original o primera edición
First edition, sole printing, with a pleasing provenance, of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service internal staff list for 1904, issued to the sinologist Charles Williams in his first year as an employee. Williams annotated this copy throughout his successful three-decade career to track the fortunes of Service colleagues. His signed armorial bookplate is to the front pastedown. Charles Alfred Speed Williams began working for the Service's revenue department in November 1903 at the junior level of Fourth Assistant. He rose to the rank of Acting Commissioner at the Lungchow station, before retiring in late 1935. On leaving the service, he was given the honorary rank of Commissioner. Williams' manuscript additions show that he maintained an evolving record of the careers of those who worked with him in the revenue department. He notes colleagues who reached the senior grade of Commissioner and their dates of compulsory retirement, while he also records whether members of staff resigned, retired, or died in office. In line with his own interest in the Chinese language, Williams also highlights those who attained the Service's highest grade of Chinese language proficiency. The Chinese Maritime Customs Service was founded in 1854 by Britain and other foreign powers to collect taxes on maritime trade for the Chinese government, but its remit quickly expanded to include domestic customs administration, the postal service, waterway and harbour management, and meteorology. These areas of responsibility inevitably overlapped with diplomatic and political issues, making the Service one of the most powerful bureaucratic entities in the country. Between 1875 and 1948, the Service published an annual list containing basic information on all members of staff and their responsibilities. These volumes, only ever distributed for internal use, represent a valuable record of the Service's contributions to the economic and political history of modern China. Alongside his successful career in the Chinese customs bureaucracy, Williams maintained a deep scholarly interest in Chinese history and culture. He is most well-known for Outlines of Chinese Symbolism and Art Motives: An Alphabetical Compendium of Antique Legends and Beliefs, as Reflected in the Manners and Customs of the Chinese (1931), a work that went through multiple editions over several decades. In 1969, he published his autobiographical Chinese Tribute which recounts his colourful experiences working for the Maritime Customs Service. Quarto. Original brown pebble-grain cloth, title to spine in gilt, sides ruled in blind, edges sprinkled red. A little rubbed and marked overall, tips bumped with light wear, edges slightly dusty, offsetting to endpapers, touch of foxing to contents, else bright. A very good copy indeed.

2vols. Large 4to. 13, 8 lithographed plates, tables, and maps (many large folding), complete. Original printed wrappers (minor damage to spine). Occasional minor wear, staples rusty, but overall still a very good set. vi, 398; vi, 460 pp. Shanghai, Statistical Department of the Inspectorate General of Customs, The China Maritime Customs Service (aka. Imperial Maritime Customs Service) was founded in 1854 in order to administer the collection of taxes after this became impossible during the Taiping rebellion. It was notionally controlled by the Imperial Qing government, but was in fact largely staffed by foreigners (in the higher ranks) who reported to an Inspector General (Nelson Lay & Sir Robert Hart). All foreigners had to be fluent in Chinese, and the Service prided itself on its efficiency, and the unbiased enforcement of the tax collecting regime on foreigners and Chinese alike. By 1900 they were collecting about a third of the total tax revenue available to the Qing government. They were also involved in the postal administration, harbour and waterway management, lighthouse construction, weather reporting, and the policing of coastal areas and the Yangtze. The present fourth issue covers the years from 1912 to 1921. Vol. 1 deals with the Northern and Yangtze Ports (incl. Harbin, Mukden, Tianjin, Hankou, Wuhu and Nanjing), while vol. 2 describes the Southern and Frontier Ports (incl. Shanghai, Fuzhou, Canton, Kowloon, and Lappa) together with an appendix of trade statistics. ?In compiling the fourth issue of our Decennial Reports? the format of the last issue should be again adhered to. While recognising that much has been written in previous reports and that repetition is to be avoided as far as possible, the coming volumes should be replete with events of historical interest: revolution and fall of the Manchus, European War and its effects on local conditions, unprecedented rise (and fall) in the price of silver, , trade depressions and trade booms, the Japanese boycott, civil strife, extraterritoriality withdrawn from some and refused to others, are a few of the items which have been suggested by the Statistical Secretary as providing useful material. Furthermore, the growth of native industries and China?s evolution, during the decade, on the road to industrial independence will also make interesting reading.? (Circular no. 3082, p. viii). The appendix provides detailed trade statistics incl. imports and exports of various goods (cotton, tea, opium etc.) as well as on the population (both foreign and Chinese). All the Decennial Reports are rare.
