Commissioner Lin's Letter to Queen Victoria, 1839
“We have heard that in your own country opium is prohibited
with the utmost strictness and severity:---this is a strong
proof that you know full well how hurtful it is to mankind.
Since then you do not permit it to injure your own country,
you ought not to have the injurious drug transferred to
another country, and above all others, how much less to the
Inner Land!
Our celestial empire rules over ten thousand kingdoms! Most
surely do we possess a measure of godlike majesty which ye
cannot fathom! Still we cannot bear to slay or exterminate
without previous warning, and it is for this reason that we
now clearly make known to you the fixed laws of our land. If
the foreign merchants of your said honorable nation desire to
continue their commercial intercourse, they then must
tremblingly obey our recorded statutes.”
