'The story of the Opium War does not lend itself to natural composition; it violates all the established rules of dramatic art; it does not begin at the right moment and it prolongs its end long after the climax has been reached. Mr. Collis has handed this intractable material with surety of touch... The result is a self contained narrative, lucid, balanced and creating a unity of impression.... so lucid, so human, so amusing, and so fair.'
