| Abstract | Missionaries from the US to China in the 1800s referred to the *Peking Gazette* to diplomatic effects. This essay explains how periodical literature was a monument of national standing. It reflected inter-imperial dynamics among the western treaty powers. It also set the board for establishing positivist foundations of “international law” that destroyed the earlier foundation of the “law of nations” on the basis of which treaties of peace and commerce were negotiated in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries with non-Christian sovereigns. Describing a “people’s” periodical literature was a tactic that fashioned a family of Christian nations as it excluded pagan peoples through a racial logic that defied the ABCFM enterprise. |
