520    Before the opening of the treaty ports in the 1840s, 
       Canton was the only Chinese port where foreign merchants 
       were allowed to trade. The Golden Ghetto takes us into the
       world of one of this city's most important foreign 
       communities--the Americans--during the decades between the
       American Revolution of 1776 and the signing of the Sino-US
       Treaty of Wanghia in 1844. American merchants lived in 
       isolation from Chinese society in sybaritic, albeit 
       usually celibate luxury. Making use of exhaustive research,
       Downs provides an especially clear explanation of the 
       Canton commercial setting generally and of the role of 
       American merchants. Many of these men made fortunes and 
       returned home to become important figures in the rapidly 
       developing United States. The book devotes particular 
       attention to the biographical details of the principal 
       American traders, the leading American firms, and their 
       operations in Canton and the United States. Opium 
       smuggling receives especial emphasis, as does the 
       important topic of early diplomatic relations between the 
       United States and China.
