章节摘录

版权页：In the late eighteenth century, there were heated and conflictingarguments in Britain about the slave trade and slavery within theempire. Influenced by this, the writers of the embassy paid muchattention to the question of whether there were slaves and slavery inChina. As in other respects, their opinions differed. John Barrowasserted that the people in China were, in effect, slaves in thesense that they had little freedom under an arbitrary government.Every man was liable to be made a slave since the laws allowed afather to sell  is sons. 58 George L.Staunton said that a man mightsell himself to another man in certain cases, but he was entitled tohis liberty at the end of twenty years of servitude if his conductproved to be unimpeachable.59 Stephen Else asserted that there didexist a species of slavery' among the Chinese and some were evens born slaves'. However, Aeneas Anderson had an opposing view,saying it was a fable that in China masters were desirous of promo-ting marriage among their slaves in order to increase their numberas there was c no such class of people as slaves in the Chinese em-pire'.
