Jones, William C.

Oxford University Press, 1994

[Qing Dynasty Law]  xxx, 441 pages ; 24 cm. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages.  Bookplate. "The Great Qing Code is the first accurate and complete translation of the body of law which lay at the heart of Chinese law during the last dynasty of the Chinese Empire (1644-1911). Covering every aspect of law, from concubinage to criminal damage, the code was virtually a handbook for the administration of the Empire, and as such is one of its most remarkable products."
