Author's wife's copy. Hugh Lindsay's Report of Proceedings contains reports by Lindsay, an East India Company man, and Charles Gutzlaff on trade with China and Corea. The aim of the mission was to ascertain how far the northern ports of China might be opened to trade with the British.

In the second work Lindsay argues that the trade in opium was not illegal and that Breitain should launch a large-scale military intervention in China.
