Covering a period of about four centuries, this book demonstrates the economic and political components of the opium problem. As a mass product, opium was introduced in India and Indonesia by the Dutch in the 17th century. China suffered the most, but was also the first to get rid of the opium problem around 1950.

This official correspondence, dated August 16, 1904, was issued by the Consulate General of Portugal in Canton (Guangzhou) and addressed to a senior administrative authority within the Portuguese colonial administration. Situated within the broader context of Portuguese diplomatic and fiscal operations in China during the late Qing period, the document highlights significant developments in consular revenue and staffing. It reports a substantial increase in consulate income, which rose from 324 patacas twelve years prior to over 2,600 patacas under the current administration, with 1,518 patacas collected in the preceding four months alone. This financial growth is attributed to intensified consular activity and the enforcement of updated regulations that expanded service requirements and improved administrative precision. The primary purpose of the letter is to recommend the appointment of Sófocles José da Luz as Chancellor of the Consulate. The author emphasizes da Luz’s professional competence, his prior experience at the Portuguese Consulate in Macau, and his 120-year record of public service—likely a typographical or transcription error, possibly intended to signify long-standing familial or personal service—as a government amanuensis. At the time of writing, da Luz was employed in opium fiscalization on Taipa; the sender contends that this position could be abolished without adverse impact on state revenues. The request further includes a plea for da Luz’s prompt transfer to Macau to safeguard his accumulated seniority and ensure eligibility for retirement benefits under colonial service regulations. An accompanying personnel roster, though not transcribed, is referenced as supplementary evidence of administrative structure.
