Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal de la Campagne de Chine, 1859-1860-1861, Vol. 1
C'est en applaudissant a cette guerre civilisatrice, qui aura pour cons'quence l'ouverture de vastes horizons a des peuples puissants, jusqu'alors inconnus l'un a l'autre, c'est en suivant les 'tapes glorieuses de notre brave arm'e qui, a chaque pas, plantait fierement le drapeau de la France sur le sol ennemi en enregistrant une nou velle victoire, que j'ai eu la pens'e de consacrer par quelques pages le souvenir de la brillante exp'dition de Chine.
