LAMOTTE, ELLEN N. Opium monopoly. *$1 Macmillan 178.8
20–2983
“‘The opium monopoly,’ by Ellen N. LaMotte, the author of ‘The backwash of war,’ ‘Peking dust,’ ‘Civilization,’ etc., is a remarkable monograph on the ‘opium question,’ based upon government blue book reports, statistical extracts and official data. In this work, the author discusses the problems of opium monopoly and consumption in India, the Malaya peninsula, Siam, Hongkong, Srawak, Turkey, Persia, Mauretius, British Borneo and British Guiana, and gives a brief outline of the history of the opium trade in China and of Great Britain’s opium monopoly.”—N Y Call
“National pharisaism and a strong anti-English feeling are a conspicuous part of the writer’s equipment, but the facts which she adduces must give us to think.”
