China and the West

Shebbeare, John. An authentic narrative of the oppressions of the islanders of Jersey [ID D27193].
"At the same time those reflections which arise on the various circumstances of the human conduct and of national progression, are of equal advantage and application, whether they be mad on the immense and populous empire of China, or on the little isle of Jersey."
"Men of legislative genius, who conquer others, will, by discernment in the principles of humankind, anticipate the slow progression of time, and either institute a new system of polity, both religious and civil, like Naco Capec, or like the Tartar who conquered China, adopt the establishments of those whom they have subdued."
