Subject: quote from Waley, 1958:

Arthur Waley, The Opium War through Chinese Eyes, 1958, writes: "Of his longer works the best is probably China Opened, consisting largely of facts and figures, probably collected at the library at Macao. But none of his books ever give any sorts of references, and it is often impossible to tell whether he is using some relatively good source, repeating gossip or merely inventing." p. 234.
