Over the centuries Macau has been a focal point in China trade and Sino-Western contacts. Ljungstedt's book, which was first published in 1836, is acknowledged as the first authoritative history of Macau. It was unique for the author's repudiation of the Portuguese claim of sovereignty of Macau. The chapter on Canton in the early 19th century is a fascinating story of a thriving city and its fast developing trade with the outside world. The book also describes in great detail the East India trade at the time.
