Qing dai ming ren shu zha zhen ji
This book includes nine original letters by Qing scholars and government
officials, with one from 1832 by Lin Zexu 
among
the most prominent. Other authors include Wang Shizhen and Ruan Yuan. The
Wason collection holds sixteen of these volumes, containing nearly one
hundred previously unpublished original letters. Some of the letters include
annotations by Hu Shi 
,
who also compiled a content overview. Among the most prominent entries
is an 1832 letter by Lin Zexu, who was sent to Canton in 1840 to suppress
the influx of opium coming to China from India on British ships.
On loan from Tsu-wang Hu.
