Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The 'Haiguo Tuzhi' (Illustrated Gazetteer of the Maritime Kingdoms) is a monumental 100-scroll work of 19th-century Chinese geography and political strategy. While catalog searches and academic results from Google Books confirm its status as a seminal text frequently discussed in the context of translation and modernization, no record of a complete English translation exists. Scholarly literature (e.g., Svarverud 2007, Wong 2018) indicates that while significant excerpts and specific sections have been translated for academic anthologies and monographs, the work in its entirety has never been published in English.

Witness the birth of Western civilization through the eyes of a 19th-century Chinese visionary. How did a collection of city-states transition from 'Blood Laws' to an empire that stretched to Babylon, and how does their timeline mirror China's own ancient dynasties?
