Acknowledgements
It is with great pleasure and even greater relief that I can now thank all those people who have offered so much encouragement and assistance over the years. Lyman Van Slyke and Harold Kahn, my teachers at Stanford University, provided a uniquely stimulating and nurturing environment for graduate work and offered invaluable guidance on this book, particularly during its crucial early stages. My cohort at StanfordEmily Honig, Gail Hershatter, Helen Chauncey, and Randy Strossgreatly enriched and enlivened my time at graduate school. I would also like here to express my gratitude to my undergraduate teachers at Wittenberg Universityparticularly, Stanley Mickel, Eugene Swanger, Cynthia Behrman, and Peter Celmswho first got me started in the fields of Chinese studies and history.
For financial support for this project, I am indebted to the Social Science Research Council, the Committee for Scholarly Communication with the People's Republic of China, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Center for Chinese Studies, UCLA. The staffs of the following institutions were most helpful during the course of my research: the Lou Henry Hoover Library at Stanford University, the East Asian Library at the University of Washington, the Toyo Bunka Kenkyujo (Tokyo University), the Toyo Bunko, the National Palace Museum and the Academia Sinica in Taiwan, the history department library of Nanjing University, the Nanjing Municipal Library, the Suzhou Museum, and the First Historical Archives in Beijing.
A number of people made my research abroad a rewarding and memorable experience. I am particularly grateful to Linda Grove for introducing me to the scholarly world in Tokyo and to Tanaka Masatoshi, Saeki Yu-

ichi, Usui Sachiko, and Kishimoto (Nakayama) Mio for accepting me so warmly. Cai Shaoqing of Nanjing University greatly eased my way into various libraries in China and in other ways made my stay there less trying than it otherwise might have been, and Dong Caishi of Suzhou Normal University (now Suzhou University) generously shared his time and vast knowledge of the Taiping occupation of the lower Yangzi valley. I am also beholden to innumerable other scholars in Japan and China for taking the time to discuss mutual research concerns.
Jack Dull, Joseph Esherick, Kent Guy, Elizabeth Perry, and R. Bin Wong read all or parts of the manuscript at various stages of revision and offered much constructive criticism. Joseph Esherick, in particular, gamely read several versions, commenting astutely and at great length on each one. An anonymous press reader's suggestions for final revisions did much to help me tighten up my argument. I am also grateful to Muriel Bell, John Ziemer, and others at Stanford University Press for their professional handling of the manuscript and 4eto Barbara Mnookin for her meticulous copyediting. Finally, my profoundest thanks go to Philip Huang, my best intellectual companion and critic, for all his encouragement and support, and for all our stimulating discussions of the larger historical issues raised in this book.
