The microfiche edition contains figures on census, economical development, commerce and trade. Especially noteworthy are the considerable ranges of data on various 'Treaty Ports' and their provinces, including the major ports of Harbin, Nanking and Shanghai, and various medium-sized and smaller ports, such as: Aigun, Dairen, Tientsin, Lungkhow, Chungking, Wanshien, Changsha, Soochow, Hangchow, Foochow, etc. In many cases, this information extends over several decades, providing rare insights into trade, navigation, industries, and population development. The present material derives from the holdings of the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), The Hague, The Netherlands. Apart from the most recent statistical information, the CBS maintains a significant library with historical statistical publications, from which IDC Publishers has made a selection. |
