Diary of the Siege of the Peking Legations: June to August, 1900 is a historical account of the Boxer Rebellion in China, written by William Meyrick Hewlett. The book is based on Hewlett's personal diary, which he kept while serving as a member of the British Legation in Peking during the siege. The diary details the events that took place during the siege, including the Boxer Rebellion's attacks on the legations, the efforts of the legation members to defend themselves, and the eventual relief of the siege by foreign troops. Hewlett's account provides a firsthand perspective on the siege and its aftermath, including the destruction of much of the city of Peking and the impact of the rebellion on China's relationship with the rest of the world.Published in 1900, Diary of the Siege of the Peking Legations is a valuable primary source for historians and anyone interested in the history of China and the Boxer Rebellion. The book provides a unique insight into the experiences of those who lived through the siege, and offers a vivid portrayal of the chaos and violence that characterized this pivotal moment in Chinese history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
