Excerpt from The Rationale of the China Question: Comprising an Inquiry Into the Repressive Policy of the Imperial Government
In short, the Treaty never was really acquiesced in there, either by the Gentry or the able-bodied of the people - neither of whom were forgetful of the sinister teachings of Lin, or the traditional inculcation of contempt, annually if not more frequently repeated publicly by their Rulers, and who had moreover the counterfeited semblance of victory to inflate their own pride.
