Clarence Edward Dutton manuscript
Scope and Contents
In this corrected typescript Dutton uses "official publications ... being usually selections of foreign office correspondence" to describe the political issues in China in terms of the late 19th century imperialistic rivalries among England, France, Germany, and Russia. His conclusion is that Russia, while not the strongest power, sets the tone in China by what Russia does or does not do, the other continental powers then reacting to Russia's initiatives.
