This volume, "Memorials Addressed To H. M.'s Government, By British Merchants Interessed In The Trade With China," presents a collection of documents submitted to the British government concerning trade relations with China in 1840. These memorials, presented to both Houses of Parliament, offer a detailed perspective on the concerns and interests of British merchants involved in the China trade during a pivotal period. The documents shed light on the economic and political factors shaping British policy towards China, including the complexities of trade imbalances and the burgeoning opium trade.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers and historians studying 19th-century British imperialism, the economic history of the China trade, and the origins of the Opium Wars. The firsthand accounts and arguments presented by the merchants provide a unique insight into the challenges and opportunities of conducting business in China during this era.
