"In this definitive account of the institutional growth of Ch'ing autocracy in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, Silas H. L. Wu examines the methods by which the Ch'ing emperors K'ang-hsi (1622-1722) and Yung-Cheng (1723-1735) kept abreast of what was happening in their empire. Mr. Wu's topic is central to understanding the long life of the empire, as these methods of obtaining information were crucial to the success of the dynasty" (jacket blurb).
