Excerpt from The Boxer Rising: A History of the Boxer Trouble in China
In view of the dramatic events which have transpired in China during the past few months we have thought it would meet the wishes of the readers of the "Mercury" to reprint the special articles which appeared in our columns describing the various acts of the drama which has passed before our eyes, and thus permit of their being preserved in a more permanent and convenient form than is possible in the columns of a newspaper. There has been no attempt to specially prepare the articles for publication in their present from and they are printed as they originally appeared. We have to express our thanks to all those, our correspondents and others, whose contributions are now republished.
While it is perhaps impossible to fix any date as being the beginning of the Boxer trouble, the announcement of the burning of a station on the Lu Han line on 17th May, which appeared in the "Mercury" of 29th May, may be said to have been the first indication to the general public that a rising which had for its object the expulsion of foreigners from China had really broken out.
