| Publisher Description: Excerpt from Szechwan: Its Products, Industries and Resources Parliamentary Papers at the time. In 1902 I was appointed consul-general for the province of Szechwan, arrived at Ch'engtu, its capital, early in 1903 and resided there for a couple of years. The first of these two years I devoted to a more exhaustive study of the province, its products, manufactures and potentialities and the results of my investigations were issued as a Parliamentary Paper in October, 1904. In the second year I paid a visit to the Eastern Frontier of Tibet and a Report of this journey appeared as another Parliamentary Paper in August, 1905. In 1911 I again visited Szechwan as Special Opium Commissioner and during these later journeys I was able to collect information additional to that contained in my 1904 Report.
