| | The Treaty of Tientsin presented in History section |
 | | Tientsin, the largest commercial city in Chih-li, the metropolitan province of China, is situated at the junction of the Peiho and the Hun-ho, which is connected by the grand Canal with the Yangtsze-kiang. |
 | | It is a prefectural city, and has, since the conclusion of the foreign treaties, become the residence of the viceroy of fee province during a great portion of the year. |
 | | It is unnecessary here to give the full terms of the Treaty of Tientsin, but one of the provisions of the Treaty, that of legalizing the opium trade, calls for some remarks as it had much to do with the commercial life of Shanghai. |
