Thanks for the links. Reading the books is riveting, as they give a good account of the way of thinking in Britain at the time, and also the daily life in China. If you want an escape from Programming, these are highly recommended.

I’m glad you like them. I came across the books by accident a few years ago when searching for old travel books at the Internet Archive. I wrote about that on the IA’s blog: https://blog.archive.org/2019/01/28/the-world-as-they-saw-it/ https://blog.archive.org/2019/01/28/the-world-as-they-saw-it...
