Detailed history of the relations between China and the Western Powers (Europe, US, Russia) during the reign of the Manchu emperor Tongzhi
The Tongzhi Emperor (1856â1875), born Zaichun, was the ninth emperor of the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty, and the eighth Qing emperor to rule over China proper, from 1861 to 1875. His reign, which effectively lasted through his adolescence, was largely overshadowed by the rule of his mother, the Empress Dowager Cixi. Although he had little influence over court affairs, the time of his reign gave rise to what historians call the "Tongzhi Restoration" - an unsuccessful attempt to stabilize and modernize China.

Shipping and Payment Information
Shipping :
DOMESTIC
Domestic Media Mail shipping, including Delivery Confirmation and Insurance, is standard. This applies to any address in the US and Puerto Rico, as well as to APO addresses.
Media Mail, available only for domestic shipping, is trucked to its destination, and shipped by boat to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, On the average it takes 3 to 10 days to arrive, depending on the distance and the vagaries of the US Postal Service.
Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, APO and other off-shore addresses take longer to arrive.
During the pre-Christmas season, Media Mail is subject to delays.
When filling out the Ebay Detailed Seller Ratings, please keep in mind that the sometime slow arrival is due to the performance of the Postal Service and not to any tardiness on the part of the seller.
For expedited domestic mailing, Priority Mail shipping can be arranged at an additional cost. For most books, we charge between two and nine dollars for this service, including delivery confirmation and insurance.
For heavy sets or high-value books, the charge may be higher.
INTERNATIONAL
For international shipping, we urge bidders to request quotes of shipping costs before bidding.
We will also specify international shipping options and prices after the conclusion of the auction. We will try to provide a range of options but buyers should be aware that all shipments are via air mail and shipping of heavy books can be expensive.
COMBINED SHIPPING
For international transactions, combined shipping of multiple lots can substantially reduce postage. This is especially the case for M-Bag shipments of up to 11 lbs and for multiple volumes that will fit into a single Priority Mail flat rate box. For the above options, the postage rate is fixed independently of the weight.
INSURANCE
All of our domestic shipments are fully insured.
Payment :
No credit cards except through PayPal. Paypal payments should be in US Dollars but Euros are also acceptable if prior agreement is obtained.
As of October 2008, Ebay is imposing the requirement that all payments be made via Paypal. We understand that this requirement may
be a problem to some of our customers and we will do our best to accommodate their needs.
