To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The imperialists unfortunately sulliedtheir success by grave excesses and by the cruel treatment of theunoffending townspeople, who were made to suffer for the originalincapacity and cowardice of the officials themselves. At Canton, which wasalso visited by the Triads in June, 1854, matters took a different course. The Chinese merchants and shopkeepers combined and raised a force fortheir own protection, and these well-paid braves effectually kept theinsurgents out of Canton. They, however, sei...zed the neighboring town ofFatshan, where the manufacturing element was in strong force, and but forthe unexpected energy of the Cantonese they would undoubtedly have seizedthe larger city too, as the government authorities were not less apathetichere than at Shanghai. The disturbed condition of things continued untilFebruary, 1855, when the wholesale executions by which its suppression wasmarked, and during which a hundred thousand persons are said to haveperished, ceased.
The events have now been passed in review which marked the beginning andgrowth of the Taeping Rebellion, from the time of its being a local risingin the province of Kwangsi to the hour of its leader being installed as aruling prince in the ancient city of Nankin.
