A personal investigation into the present conditions of the opium trade in China and its effects upon the nation. In 1907 and 1908, Samuel Merwin published these chapters in Success Magazine, offering a nuanced perspective on the issue. Merwin's research took him around the world, from China to England, where he gathered information and interviewed numerous gentlemen with expertise on the subject. He also read extensively on printed matter related to the opium trade, distilling his findings into a thoughtful analysis.
