' The following story of the Opium War is , to all intents and purposes , a translation of the last two chapters of the Skeng Wu-Ki , or " Military Operations of the Present Dynasty ^ ' The author is Wei-Yiian ^ a Chinese , who held , about forty years ago , the post of Department Magistrate at Kao-Yu , north of Yangchow ; and Wei-Yiian ' s style has been followed in the translation . Bates have been altered so as to convey definite ideas of time to European readers , and in some cases the Cantonese or other popular pronunciation is given to the names of places and persons well known in the south . The paper illustrates the extraordinary faithfulness with which the Chinese endeavour to' perfect their histories , and this seems to have always been a national characteristic . In the work of solving the riddles of ancient and mediaeval history , the Chinese records ( if correctly translated ) are likely to be found as faithful as any , though there may be mistakes .
