""One of the most engaging memoirs of nineteenth-century Macau from a foreign viewpoint is the journal of Harriett Low... This book is a fascinating and remarkably fresh view of foreigners and Chinese in the days of the Old China Trade that makes Low's journal very accessible. Lamas's work will surely be a major contribution to the study of Chinese-Western cultural and commercial relations in the early nineteenth century."" – Jonathan Porter, University of New Mexico

""Taking Harriett Low's diaries as a prism though which to throw light on the lives of the early Anglo-American community in South China, Ms Lamas offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Western women in China before the age of imperialism. This book will prove stimulating to anyone interested in women's history and travel in China."" – Glenn H. Timmermans, University of Macau
