PREFACE
The commencement of the Protestant Mission to China was
closely connected with a scheme for translating the Scriptures
into the native language; a work to which the pioneers de-
voted much time and attention. Their successors in like
manner, have kept this before them as an object of first im-
portance; and the continuous application thus bestowed
from the beginning, on this branch of the enterprise, has
been productive of results gratifying to every friend of the
cause. The incipient labours of Morrison, Marshman and
Milne, brought to completion the two first entire translations
of the Bible, which appear to have issued from the press
simultaneously about the year 1822.
No great period was allowed to elapse till this was follow-
ed up by revision and amendment, a work which had been
contemplated by the first translators, even before their own
productions had been given to the public. The combined
efforts of Drs. Medhurst, Gutzlaff and Bridgman, in concert
with the son of Dr. Morrison, led to the respective versions
of the two first-named missionaries.
Subsequent to this, the new translation of the New Tes-
tament by the Committee of Delegates, issued in 18.50, and
the Old Testament by the members of the London Mission,
some two or three years later, were followed up by a revision
of the whole, at the hands of Dr. Bridgman and Mr. Cul-
bertson.
Another version of the New Testament had been carried
on at the same time, by the Rev. J. Goddard, the agent of
the Baptist churches in America; and his work has been for
the most part used by the members of that denomination.
A complete translation of the New Testament into the
Mandarin dialect, chiefly by Dr. Medhurst, has been widely
circulated; and a second translation by the resident mission-
aries at Peking is well on to completion.
Translations of the whole New Testament have been made
into the local dialects of Ningpo and Fuhchow, and detached
portions of the Old and New Testaments have appeared in
the Shanghae, Canton, Hakka, Amoy and Kin-hwa dialects.
\[ PREFACE.
A number of valuable contributions have been made in the
department of exegesis, but a complete commentary is still
a desideratum,
In other departments the press has been largely employed
disseminating instruction, both religious and secular; and
probably few are aware of the number of works large and
small, that have been issued from first to last. The lack of
an established channel for communicating information on
this point, lias proved a disadvantage to some; who for want
of knowing what had been already done, have occasionally
devoted time and energy to an unconscious repetition of pre-
vious labours. In order to avoid this, the wish has been
frequently expressed, that some source of information might
be made accessible to all; much valuable time might thus
be saved, and many of the inductions of the past made
available to present workers. -
Such is the object of the present publication, in which the
compiler has been readily assisted by most of the mission-
aries in the field. Although there must of necessity be some
omissions, yet it is believed that they are inconsiderable, and
that the present list contains nearly all that has been pub-
lished, from the commencement down to the present time.
It has been suggested that it may be serviceable to Mission-
ary and Tract Societies also, in placing before them a sum-
mary of past labours, and enabling them to make selections
for future publication.
By referring to the Classified Index, one may see at a
glance what has been done in the various branches, and the
several dialects, the figures pointing him to fuller informa-
tion. In the majority of cases, no author's name is given on
the book or tract, and publications are frequently met with,
to the origin of which the possessor can find no clue. On
turning to the Chinese alphabetical Index, he will find the
title without difficulty, and at the page indicated, will meet
with a statement of such particulars as have been thought
necessary for the identification of the work, with sometimes
an epitomized history of its production. Many of the early
missionaries used epithets instead of their proper names on
their works. A number of these have been pointed out, and
the dates which they indicate.
As a tribute of respect to the pioneers in this service, some
few particulars collected from previous publications, have
been added to the names of those who arrived within the first
forty years from the commencement.
It will be observed that the great majority of the works
aim at (lie simple literary style of composition as their mo-
del; being thus available for any part of this extensive em-

pire, and even for some of the neighbouring nations. But as
this style differs more or less from the various spoken dia-
lects, many missionaries have conceived the idea of transfer-
ring to paper, the pure colloquial of given districts.
So far as the Mandarin is concerned, there are precedents
in the language, and an established usage of the written
character.
Other dialects have not this advantage, and much ingen-
uity has been expended in devising the most appropriate me-
thods for reducing them to writing. The Chinese character
has naturally presented itself, and has been employed to
some extent; but there are so many words in particular dia-
lects, that are unrepresented by written characters; and so
many others in which the colloquial sounds differ so widely
from the reading pronunciation, as to render them altogether
inapplicable; that it has been found necessary to divert from
their ordinary application such a large number of the signs
employed, as in some cases to increase the evil it was propos-
ed to obviate. This remark applies of course with varying
force to various dialects.
The difficulty here alluded to, early suggested the general
medium of European nations, as most suitable for the trans-
fer of native sounds, and divers combinations of the Roman
character have been successfully employed to this end. Not
a few works have been printed in the Ningpo, Shanghae,
Amoy, Hakka and Kin-hwa dialects. It must be admitted
that there is much that is arbitrary, in thus diverting the
Roman character to represent the Chinese sounds, ami va-
rious artifices have been resorted to, to meet the require-
ments of the case. The difficulty of harmonizing the views
of all concerned however, added to the acknowledged imper-
fection of the western alphabet for the purpose, have sug-
gested other devices for attaining the object.
Foremost among these stands the system invented by Mr.
Crawford, and used to a considerable extent by the Baptist
missionaries in Shanghae. This possesses the advanta
each character representing a single sound without ambigui-
ty, and a consistent uniformity between the corresponding
members of the several phonetic groups, while the compon-
ent strokes are peculiarly adapted to the capabilities of the
Chinese pencil.
Other phonetic systems have been proposed, but we have
not heard of their practical application.
It is no part of our 2>lau here, to discuss the relative mer-
its of the literary and colloipiial styles, assuming that each
is adapted to a useful end. Much thought has been bestow-
ed upon the subject, by men earnest in the work, devoted to

the glory of God, and ardently desirous of the salvation of
their fellow creatures. We look with respect on anything
emanating from such motives; and while mere crotchets are
not to he tolerated, we repudiate that severe standard of
judgment, by which nothing beyond our own peculiar views
can be countenanced. As there are diversities of gifts and
varieties of talent, so the many plans of operation suggested
by a living faith, may all be working together towards the
one great end we have in view; and we are ready to say God
speed ! to every brother who consecrates his time and ener-
gies to the great cause of humanity.
Apart from the spread of divine truth, and the general
influence always attending the progress of Christianity, an
art of acknowledged potency in the onward course of civiliz-
ation, has received its practical development under the Pro-
testant mission. In the early part of last century, a set of
Chinese types to the extent of more than a hundred thou-
sand were cut in wood at Paris, but of such huge dimensions
as to be of little service in ordinary press work; and the prac-
ticability of ever reducing Chinese to the limits of the found-
er, was at that time generally disbelieved. Specimens of
type were executed by private firms in England from time to
time, and it is nearly half a century since Mr. Watts com-
pleted a font, very commendable for neatness and accuracy.
But the extraordinary expense attending such enterprises
held out little hope of moveable type being applied to com-
mon Chinese printing. The zeal and devotedness of Mr. Dyer
of the London Mission, however, triumphed over the initial
difficulties. By the combination of native labour with Eu-
ropean art, he succeeded in bringing out a font of unsurpass-
ed elegance, and at quite a practicable cost. More recently
electric science has been applied to the perfection of the art
by Mr. Gamble, and Chinese printing by moveable type is
now as much a matter of course as any European language.
Of the three hundred and thirty eight missionaries named
in the list, the aggregate term of service in China has been
2511 years, giving an average of nearly seven and a half
years to each. Or if we subtract from this, 124 mission-
now in the field, we have a surplus of 214 who have
completed their term, to an aggregate of 1559 years, making
an average of about a quarter of a year less to each, than the
former number. These numbers include the time that mis-
sionaries have been absent on visits to their native lands or
elsewhere, g< tierally on account of health.
The following figures give a comparative view of the num-

THE CHINESE.
I. JOSHUA MARSHMAN, althoughuot actually enga-
ged in missionary work among the Chinese, yet devoted so
much of his time and great talents, to collateral objects in
direct furtherance of that work, that he may fairly claim a
place in a catalogue of such agents; and his labours being first
in point of time, entitle him to he placed at the head of th •
list. His family traced its descent from an officer in the par-
liamentary army of England, who retired into private life in
Wiltshire, after Charles II. disbanded that body, in 1660. John
Marshman, the father of the missionary was 'a weaver, and
married Mary Couzener, a descendant of one of the French
refugees who obtained shelter in England on the revocation
of the Edict of Nantes. Their son Joshua was born ai V.
bury Leigh, in Wiltshire, on April 20, 17o'S. At the age of
seven, he was sent to the village school, kept by one Cogge-
shall, where he learned reading, an attainment which he after-
wards exercised to an extraordinary exti at, having read more
than a hundred volumes by twelve years of age, and more
than five hundred it is said, before he had reached eighl
In youth he worked at his father's trade, but ai the age of
fifteen, he was invited to London by a, bookseller, who took him
into his employment. His lather recalled him however after
a few months, to his native village, where he was again enga-
ged at the loom. In 1791, he was married to Hannah Shep-
herd, the grandd^ghter of lb' v. .John Clark, for sixty •
pastor of the Baptist church at Crockerton in Wiltshire. In
1794, he removed to Bristol, was baptized and became a ne in-

ber of the church at Broadmead, Bristol. There he entered
the acadera /, and devoted five years to the study of the classics,
together with Hebrew and Syriac. On May 3, 1799, he was
set apart to the missionary work, at Bristol, in connection
with the Baptist Missionary Society; and on the 25th of the
same month, sailed from London in the American ship Crite-
rion, arriving at Calcutta on October 12; from whence he pro-
ceeded the following day to Serampore, a Danish settlement
on the Hoogly. In the division of labour by the three mission-
aries, Carey, Ward and Marshman, the latter was appointed to
to superintend the school, and in the church organization, he
was one of the deacons. About the year 1805, he commenced
the study of the Chinese language under the tuition of Mr.
Joannes Lassar, an Armenian born at Macao, who had been
engaged by the llev. D. Brown, Provost of Fort William
College, to commence a translation of the Scriptures in the
Chinese language. To this work Marshman gave himself with
great perseverance, till he had succeeded in producing the first
complete translation of the entire Scriptures in Chinese. In
1827, Carey, Ward and Marshman became dissociated from the
Baptist Missionary Society. He died at Serampore, December
7, 1837.
Of twelve children born to Dr. Marshman, only six survived
infancy. The eldest son was many years editor of the Friend
of India newspaper, and is now resident in London. The
second and third sons were lawyers. The eldest daughter was
married to Mr. Williams, of the Bengal civil service; the second
to Dr. Voigt the medical officer at Serampore ; the youngest
is Lady Havclock.
Dr. Marshman has left the following published works: —

II- J§ fi M }Ia Le-sun. ROBERT MORRISON, the
actual founder of the Protestant mission to the Chinese, was
the grandson of a Scotch farmer. His father, James Morrison
was born near Dunfermline in Fifeshire, Scotland, and in
early life removed across the border to the neighbourhood of
Morpeth in Northumberland, the birthplace of his spouse
Hannah Nicholson. There Robert was born at Buller's Green,
January 5, 1782, the youngest son in a family of eight child-
ren. About the year 1785, his parents removed to Newcastle,
where he was afterwards taught reading and writing, by his
uncle James Nicholson a respectable schoolmaster; and at the
proper age was apprenticed to his father, as a last and boot-
tree maker. While engaged in that humble sphere, he joined
the church of Christ, in connection with the Rev. J. Hutton
of Highbridge Chapel, and in 1801, June 19, commenced a
course of study under the Rev. W. Laidler, a Presbyterian min-
ister in Newcastle, from whom he acquired the elements of the
Latin, Greek and Hebrew languages, some systematic theolo-
gy, and the art of writing short-hand. His zeal as a mem-
ber of the Friendless Poor and Sick Society about that time,
attracted the notice of his friends. On the 7th January
1803, he entered the dissenting academy at Hoxton near
London. Having been accepted by the London Missionary
Society in 1805, he was sent by them to pursue his studies
under the Rev. Dr. Bogue at Gosport. In 1806, he com-
menced the study of Chinese in London, with the assistance
of Yong Sam-tak, a Chinese who happened to be then in the
country. On the 8th January 1807, he was ordained in (he
Scotch church, Swallow street, London. On the 31st, he
embarked for China via America, and reached Macao on the.
4th September, whence he proceeded to Canton. On the
20th February 1809, he was married to MissMorton, and the
same day was appointed translator to the Fast India Compa-
ny. In 1815, his official connection with that body was broken
off. In 1817, he accompanied Lord Amherst's embassy to
Peking. On the 24th December of the same year, lie was
made Doctor of Divinity by the University of Glasgow. In
1818, he was the means of establishing (he A.nglo-Chinese
College at Malacca, for the interchangeable communication of

the languagi s of England and China, with a view to the pro-
motion of Christianity in the latter country. In 1821, his
wife died ; the following year, he visited Malacca and Singa-
pore ; and in 1824, returned to England. The same year
he was made a Fellow of the Koyal Society. He took to
England a very considerable Chinese library, which is now
deposited in the London University College. The Language In-
stitution in Bartlett's Buildings, Holborn, London, was also set
on foot by Dr. Morrison, during his stay in London, to initiate
missionaries into the languages of the countries where they
Were to be located. Towards the end of this year, he was
married to Miss Armstrong, and in 1826 returned to China,
where he laboured zealously in the mission cause at Canton,
till his death, which occurred at his lodging, No. 6 in the
Danish Hong at that city, on the 1st August, 1834. The
following day his remains were removed to Macao, and buried
in the private Protestant cemetery there on the 5th, beside
those of his first wife and child. He left a family of six sur-
viving children, two by his first wife, and four by the second.
His only daughter was married to Dr. Hobson a medical
missionary, in .1847.

With regard to the 2nd Part, which Professor JulieD of l'aris
designates, "without dispute, the best Chinese Dictionary
composed in a European language," a somewhat singular con-
troversy has existed for some years, but is now happily set at
rest. Morrison tells us in his preface: — " The Chinese Work,

publication. He committed his Manuscript to the care of his
pupil Kan-ylh-hoo & — -$J who travelled over the whole
empire in order to verify it, and add to it." After this
explicit statement by Morrison, the public were taken by
surprise to find Callery in the Introduction to his Systema
Phoneticum broadly asserting, that "it is nothing else than the
English translation of a dictionary compiled by the Catholic
missionaries, of which he himself possesses a manuscript copy."
The great rarity of Chin Seen-sang's work seemed to give some
countenance to the above charge. Professor Julien however
had been making every effort to procure a copy since 1828,
through members of the Roman Catholic and Russian missions,
but without effect till 1844; when he wrote to Mr. Thorn the
English Consul at Ningpo on May 10, quoting a letter from
one of his pupils then residing at Macao, in these words: —
"I have just seen to-day the famous dictionary j£ ifi ^ j| jff
Ou-che-yun-fou, of which Mr. Callery denies the existence.
The title is not false, for it is continued from one end to the
other upon every page of the work." The writer of these notes
can add his testimony to the fact of it being a bona fide work,
having examined in detail a copy of the same in the possession
of the Rev. J. Edkins, now in Peking, which he accidentally
met with not far from Shanghae.

Macao, 1833. This was a periodical commenced by Dr. Mor-
rison, for the dissemination of evangelical principles in tJhina.
Only four numbers were published, in May and June of the
year named, when he was requested by the President of the
East India Company's Select Committee, at the instam
the Governor of Macao, in conformity with a representation
made by the Roman Catholic Vicar general, to suspend all
further issues, as contrary to the doctrines of the Roman Ca-
tholic church. Thus prematurely ended the public
the Evangelist. It was principally filled with papers exhibit-
ing the doctrines, precepts, and promises of the Grospel. Al
the same time all matters relating to China and the surround-
ing nations were also deemed worthy of notice. Each num-
ber contained also short pieces in the Chinese characl r.
Besides the above works, Morrison was an extensive con-
tributor to the periodical literature of the day, and many ar-
ticles from his pen are to be found in the Journals of Europe
as well as China.
• The Indo-Chinese Cleaner, a quarterly magazine, con-
taining miscellaneous communications on the [ndo-Chinesfi
nations, published at Malacca, 1817 — 1822, is in great mea-
sure indebted to the contributions oi Morrison, the joint con-
ductor with Dr. Milne.
In the "Evangelical Magazine" for 1825, is a serites of 6
letters by Morrison, on the Language, History. Religions, and
Government of China.
A succession of articles from foe- same hand appeared in the
first 7 volumes of the Canton Register, and the first 3 volumi 5
of the Chinese Repository.
These and similar contributions to Missionary and other
Magazines, besides numerous Tracts, for English Sailors, and
Miscellaneous papers on various occasions, go to make up the
literary labours of this devoted and persevering missionary.

arrived in London, the 5th of April, 1834, has given an
important contribution to this department of literature, under
the title: — "Memoirs of the Life, and Labours of Robert Mor-
rison, D. D. F. 1!. S. M. R. A. S. Member of the Societe
Asiatique of Paris, &c. &c. compiled by his Widow ; with
critical notices of his Chinese works, by Samuel Kidd, and an
Appendix containing original documents." 2 vols. 8vo. pp.

Jonx Robert Morrison, the second son of the Rev. Robert
Morrison, was born at Macao on the 17th of April, 1814, and
with his mother and sister elder than himself, embarked for
England on the 21st of January following. On the 23rd of
August, 1820, he returned with them to Macao ; but in less
than two years, having meantime been bereft of his mother by
death, he was sent to England to receive his education. Dur-
ing the four succeeding years, his time was spent in receiving
elementary instruction, in the first instance at the academy
of the Rev. J. Clunie, L. L. D. at Manchester, and subse-
quently at the Mill Hill Grammar school, near London.
When his father embarked for China, May 1st, 1826, after
his two years visit to England, he took his son John with
him. From that time his attention was chiefly directed to the
study of the Chinese language, and after a short stay under
the paternal roof at Macao, he was sent to the Anglo-
Chinese college at Malacca. In two or three years he rejoined
his father at Canton, and continued his studies under his im-
mediate direction. It was shortly after this that he was em-
ployed as interpreter, first to the British merchants in China,
and then temporarily to the mission of the United States
government to Cochin-china, in 1833. On his return to Can-
ton, from this expedition, he resumed his duties to the mer-
chants, and at the same time was engaged in aiding his labo-
rious father, and was gradually introduced to the friendship
and confidence of the foreign community. After the death of
his father in 1834, he was appointed his successor, as Chinese
Secretary and Interpreter to the Superintendents of British
trade in China. Ever zealous and interested in the mission-
ary work, shortly after this, it was to his efforts that the na-
tive Christians were indebted for their release from incarcera-
tion, to obtain which he had to pay a large sum of money.
For several years, while the London Missionary Society was
without any direct agent at Canton, he was entrusted with
the charge of (heir affairs, and the earnest appeals which lie
sent t<> the directors from time to time, indicated the warm
feelings with which he watched the progress of the cause;
while aiding in the preparation of works for the press, instruc-
ting and conversing with the natives. Dr. Morrison, shortly
ROBERT MORRISON. H
before his death, had proposed that his son should undertake
the work of revising the Chinese translation of the Scriptures,
and the American Bible Society had made provision for sus-
taining him in this undertaking. He was afterwards associ-
ated with Messrs. Medhurst, Griitzlaff and Bridgman in the
production of a new version. During the period of conflict
and difficulty between the English and Chinese governments,
which began in March 1839, and ended in August 1842, he
occupied an onerous post in the service of his country, which
he rilled with much prudence, and satisfaction tohis superiors.
After a nine days illness, he died at Macao on the 29th of Au-
gust, 1843.
He gave to the public one or two works, of essential impor-
tance for the mercantile community in China. The following
are from his hand: —
1. Some Account of Charms, Talismans, and Felicitous
Appendages worn about the person, or hung up in houses,
&c. used by the Chinese. 4to. pp. 6. London, 1833. This
was published in the "Transactions of the Royal Asiatic
Society," Vol. 3, Part 2; but some copies were issued separ-
ately.
2. Companion to the Anglo-Chinese Calendar. 12mo. 1832.
3. A Chinese Commercial Guide, consisting of a collection
of details respecting foreign trade in China, pp. 116. Canton,
1834. This has gone through several subsequent edition's,
since the author's death, in which the work has been entirely
remodelled.
Not long after the death of Dr. Morrison, a noble monu-
ment to his memory was erected, in the formation of the
Morkison Education Society, the object of which was to
improve and promote Education in China by schools and other
means. John Bobert Morrison was the first Recording Secre-
tary. Besides the foundation of a seminary in Bongkong,
the Society has given substantial aid to many educational es-
tablishments in other parts of China. It has also accumulat-
ed a library of considerable value.
Kew A-gang commonly known as Agong, had been con-
nected with the London Mission as a printer, almost from
its first establishment, and during- the lffetime of Dr. Milne,
six.) wed some anxiety to become a Christian, lie was however,
brought to acknowledge the truth by his fellow-countryman
Leang Afa, and was baptized by. Dr. Morrison at Macao^abomt
the beginning of 1830. After his baptism, he received much
opposition from his wife, who was devoted to idols. The
same year he itinerated about 2.30 miles in the interior of
China, in company with Leang Afa, instructing their coun-

trymen in the knowledge of Christ, and distributing religious
tracts among them, which had been written and printed by
themselves. G-oing in a south-west direction, they threw
themselves into the train of one of the public examiners, and
passing on from one district to another, they had free access
to the young literati, among whom they distributed upwards
of seven thousand tracts on the most important subjects.
The following year, he was engaged by the London Mission-
ary Society, as a Native Assistant. Having acquired from
Mr. J. R, Morrison the art of lithography, he occupied himself
printing tracts in Macao, and distributing them among his
kindred and acquaintances, to whom he explained their con-
tents ; and though exposed to opposition and contempt, he
rejoiced in thus being able to aid the cause of the Divine
Saviour. Labouring assiduously to multiply and to scatter
the word of life, Dr. Morrison felt increasing satisfaction with
his patient and persevering efforts. Having unwittingly
offended one of his fellow-countrymen, he was, in 1835,
reported to the police, as having had connection with foreign-
ers, and a warrant was issued for his apprehension. Timely
notice having been given him, he fled to the English ships at
Lintin, and in 1836 proceeded to Malacca. In the mean
time his son Ahe, having been decoyed out of Dr. Morrison's
house at Macao, was apprehended and brought before the
magistrate; and being found a ready informant, lie wras detained
for a long time, but treated well. In 1844, Agong removed
with Dr. Legge to Hongkong, and was located in the Medical
Missionary Society's Hospital there, where he preached to,
and instructed the patients. There he has continued in con-
nection with Dr. Legge, up to the present time; proclaiming
the gospel, and expounding the Scriptures from year to year,
lo his idolatrous compatriots.
In 1833, Agong published a number of sheet tracts, con-
sisting of extracts from the Scriptures, with pictures on the
other side, which ho termed "Picture Tracts." These were
entitled: —
_ 1. A Collection of Scriptures on the Being and Perfections
of the great Creator, in opposition to Idols.
2. The Beatitudes.

service, and was afterwards apprenticed to Mr. K. of his native
parish, to learn the business of a house carpenter, in which
employment he exhibited great dexterity, and piety of charac-
ter. In early life, he seems to have distinguished himself by
his profanity; and though in his youth he had been the sub-
ject of occasional serious impressions, yet it was not till he
was sixteen years of age, that he fully knew the value and
love of the Saviour. In 1804, he was received as a mem-
ber of the Congregational church at Huntly, in his native
county. About 1809, he made application to be received
fey the London Missionary Society, and having been conferred
with by a committee of ministers in Aberdeen, he was sent
to (losport, where he went through a regular and successful
course of studies, under the direction of the Rev. Dr. Bogue.
In July, 1812, he was ordained to the minis tiy, and dedicated
to the service of Christ among the heathen. He was soon
after married to Rachel, the daughter of Charles Cowie, Esqr.
of Aberdeen. About a month alter his ordination, they em-
barked at Portsmouth, and after some delays on the passage,
arrived at Macao July 4th, 1813. Thence he was expelled by
the authorities in three days, and proceeded to Canton, where
he gave his undivided attention to the language. With the
concurrence and advice of Mr. Morrison, after six months, he
departed to visit Java and the Chinese settlements in the
Archipelago, and there to distribute books and tracts; after
whiph he returned to Canton, on September 5th, and spent
the winter of 1814 there. In the spring of 1815, he com-
menced a missionary settlement at Malacca ; where he gave
himself to the care of schools, preaching, and the preparation
and issue of missionary publications. In January, JNlO'. he
visited the island of Penang, and established a press there.
The last three or four years of his life were much devoted to
the Anglo-Chinese college, of which he was the Principal.
On the 9th August, 1817, he left Malacca, and landed in
China on September 3 ; returning to Malacca in the beginning
of 1818, where he arrived on February 17. Death had already
taken two of his dear children, and in March, J SI:), his wife
was called to her rest, November 2(J, 1820, the University of
Glasgow conferred on Kim the honorary degree of Doctor of Divi-
nity. He died on the 2nd June, 1822, leaving three surviving
sons and a daughter.

Dialogues between Chang and Yuen. 20 leaves. Malacca, 1819.
Chang is a worshipper of the true God, and Yuen is his hea-
then neighbour. They meet by chance on the road, enter
into conversation, and afterwards generally meet in the even-
ings, under the Woo-tung tree. There are twelve dialogues,
as follows: — 1. Questions proposed by Yuen concerning Chris-
tian principles and character; the Being of God. 2. Evangeli-
cal repentance. 3. Character of Christ, and faith in him. 4.
Good nun seek their chief happiness in heaven; annihilation
of the sou! considered. .5. Chang relates his first acquaintance
with the New Testament. 6! Yuen having retired, is struck
with horror at his own neglect of the true God ; visits Chang
and finds him with his family at Prayer; the resurrection of
the dead. 7. Nature and qualities of the raised bodies ; doubts
and objections. 8. Yuen on visiting Chang in the evening, finds
him in his closet, which leads to a discussion on the object,
and kinds of prayer ; worship] ting the dead, &c. 9. The awful
judgment to come ; a midnight prayer under the Woo-tung

tree. 10. Yuen objects to Chang's last night's prayer, because
he confessed himself to be a sinner. 11. Yuen deeply imp) .
with the ideas of eternity and of sin, spends a whole night in his
garden, bewailing his miserable, condition. 12. Chang explains
to him the method of salvation by Jesus Christ ; the felicity
of heaven ; and misery of hell. Here the colloquies end some-
what abruptly ; as it was obviously Dr. Milne's design to have
continued them on to some more definite conclusion. This
was reprinted at Malacca, in 1831,42 leaves. It was again re-
printed at Singapore, in 1836, 42 leaves. A revised edition
was cut at Hongkong, in 1844, 41 leaves. These blocks
were sent to London, stereotyped and printed there. An
edition of the same was printed at Shanghae, in 1847. The
original was reprinted at Ningpo, in 1847, 35 leaves. A
slightly modified edition was published by the Rev. J. L.
Shuck, at Shanghae, in 1849, 35 leaves. A revised edition,

and the numerous benevolent societies in the west, are briefly
touched upon. 1. The Missionary Society. A translation
of its rulj3s, with explanatory notes; its resources; its ope-

accomplishment of its object; a variety of doubts and objec-
tions solved. The existence of other societies of a similar kind
is noticed. 2. The Religious Tract Society. Translation of
its plan, with notes; its operations ; nature and qualities of
the publications it issues; its agents ; the methods of circula-

plan, with notes; its vast and increasing operations; patron-
age; annual receipts and expenditure; books issued; transla-
tions, &c. Auxiliary Missionary, Tract, and Bible Societies
are hinted at in this pamphlet, which closes by shewing that
though these societies differ in their plans of operation, their
object is the same; that they are equally founded in true be-
nevolence; and that they are highly beneficial to mankind.
Some freedom has been used in rendering the rules of these
Institutions; one or two of mere temporary or local interest
are left out — -and in several instances, two rules put together ;
but the general sense is preserved throughout.

Dr. Milne. J
Leans Kung-fa, known generally as A-fa, was born in the
year 1789, about seventy miles distant from Canton, in the
province of Kwang-tung. His parents being poor, they were
unable to provide any means of education for him till lie was
eleven years old. He then entered the village school, where
he continued three or four 3-ears, during which time he studied
the canonical Four Books, three of the Five Classics, and the
Sacred Edict. He was now compelled to leave Ids parental
In .me, in search of a livelihood, and came to Canton, where
he tried the trade of a pencil maker, but ultimately took up
the occupation of cutting wooden blocks for printing; in which
he continued four years with one master, and shortly after
left for a neighbouring village. In 1810, he was called home
on account of his mother's death; but soon after returned to
follow his trade again in Canton and the neighbourhood.
About the middle of April 1815, he accompanied Mr. Milne
to Malacca, to assist in printing Chinese books. About this
time, he became very anxious about his spiritual state, but
finding no relief from Buddhist practices, he was led by the
domestic instructions of Mr. Milne, to place his trust in
Christ as the Saviour; and on the 3rd of November, 181b', he
was received into the Christian Church by baptism, adminis-
tered by Mr. Milne. In April, 1819, he returned to China
to visit his family; but finding his friends wholly given to
idolatry, he prepared and engraved a tract for their edifica-
tion; a work which led to his apprehension Jby the police,
when the books and blocks were all destroyed. After two
days Dr. Morrison procured his release; but not before he
had received thirty blows with the bamboo, and had seventy
dollars extorted from him. After his release, he spent forty
days with his family, and then returned to Malacca. 1 a 1821 K
he again visited China, when he succeeded in gaining over
his wife to the cause of Christ, and baptized her; after which
he went back to Malacca in 1821, where he remained till the
death of Dr. Milne the following year. In 1823, he returned
again to his native place, and on the 20th of November that
year, he took his infant son to Dr. Morrison, who bapl
him, with the name Leung Tsin-tih. A-fa was then employed
by the London Missionary Society, as a Nati : Dr.
Morrison having set him apart that year as an Evangel i
his countrymen, and ordained him more especially to
of preaching in 1827. lb' had a daughter born in L829; and

child. For several years he continued zealously to cine

print ami distribute Christian books among his countrymen
in the province of Kwang-tang, frequently attending at the
literary examinations for that purpose, as well in the district
cities as in the provincial capital. After the death of Dr.
Morrison in 1834, A-fa and other native Christians were ap-
prehended and imprisoned fur circulating hooks, their release
having been subsequently procured by Mr. J. E. Morrison, on
the payment of a large sum of money. By the advice of his
friends, A-fa then removed again with a son named Lon to
Malacca for a time, where he was usefully employed in
preaching the gospel, and other mission work. In 1837, he
was attached to the Malacca station; and the following year
joined the mission at Singapore. In July, 1839, he returned
to China, and continued stedfast in the faith, proclaiming
the truth from day to day, to his countrymen, till death
closed his career A. D. 1855, at the age of 66.
The following are some o*f his published works: —

Christian Chinese mechanic, who was totally unacquainted
with the gospel six years before, this tract cannot be expected
to display a deep acquaintance with theology; but it appears
on the whole evangelical, serious and useful. It was first
submitted to Dr. Morrison, and having obtained his approval,
A-fa printed 200 copies for distribution. While thus engaged,
he was carried off to prison, and the blocks and books seized
and burnt by the police officers. In all his publications, he
assumed the epithet of ^ H lied shen, "Student of. Excel-

IV. ^ jgp Jg. Mih Too-sze. WALTER HENRY MED-
HURST was born in London on the 29th ofApril, 1796, and
was educated at St. Paul's Cathedral School. He went to
Gloucester at the age of fourteen, where he was apprenticed
to a printer named Wood. Some time after, he became a
member of the Independent congregation meeting in South-
gate street chapel, under the ministry of the Rev. W. Bishop,
the immediate agent of his conversion. Having re] died to an
advertisement for a printer to join the mission at Malacca, he
was accepted by the Directors of the London Missionary
Society ; spent a few months prior to his departure at Hack-
ney College, then under the charge of Dr. Collison, and em-
barked from England in September, 1S16. The vessel in
which he sailed being obliged to put in at Madras, which he
reached the 10th of February 1817, he was detained there
some months; and in the interim entered into a matrimonial
alliance with a lady of the maiden name of Elizabeth Martin,
the widow of Captain Browne an Indian officer. He readied
his destination at Malacca on June 12th, where he immediate-
ly relieved Mr. Milne of the duties of the printing office.
Without an exclusive restriction to this sphere however, he
gave himself with all diligence to the study of the langi
and engaged in the duties of teaching and preaching. His first
son was born March 27, and died May 14, 1818. Early in the
spring of 1819, he visited Penang, where he distributed I
and established schools. The aptitude he had shewn in the
matter of preaching, induced his colleagues to ordain him to
the sacred office, the rite having been performed at Malacca,
April 27th of that same year. On November 16th, his daughter
Sarah Sophia was born. Towards the close of 1820, he again
visited Penang, from whence, after spending a year in mission
work, he removed to Batavia, and organized the various
o(j WALTER 1IKXUV MEtifiUIlST.
hiancli's of a mission establishment. In the beginning of
August, '1828, he went to Singapore, from which he took his
departure in a Chinese junk on the 22nd of that month, and
visited several places on the Malayan Peninsula, but failing
to find Messrs. Tomlin and Gutzlalf, of whom he was in search,
he returned to Singapore on the 6 th i >f October. He next pro-
d to Borneo, where he visited a number of Chines' sel i Le-
rnents, and returned to Batavia on the 18th of January, 1829.
On the 14th November of the same year, he left Batavia in com-
pany with the Rev. J. Tomlin, on a journey along the north-east
coast of Java, to the island of Bali, returning to his station
on the 24th January, 1830. Through his means, the Para-
pattan Orphan Asylum in Batavia was established in 1833,
to feed, clothe and educate the orphans of Christian parents.
Subsequent to the decease of Dr. Morrison, the small com-
munity of Christians at Canton had been left without a pastor;
and with a view to ascertain the condition of matters there,
Mr. Medhurst paid them a visit in the summer of 183.5, reach-
ing Canton on the 21st July. Thence he embarked on the
26th of August, in company with the Rev. E. Stevens, for a
voyage along the coast of China, in order to ascertain the
facilities for tract distribution and preaching. By the middle
of September, they were on the north side of the Shantung
promontory, where they landed at several places, and on their
way back visited Shanghae, the island of Poo-too and other
parts, arriving at the anchorage at Lin-tin on the 31st of
October. Having returned to Batavia without delay, on the
6th of April 1836, Mr. Medhurst embarked for England via
Rotterdam, and reached London on the 5th of August. While
there, he heard of the death of his eldest daughter, the wife of
the Rev. II. Lockwood at Batavia. July 31st, 1838, he
sailed from England, and arrived in Batavia on the 5th No-
vember. The treaty between England and China, having
come into force in 1843, he left Batavia at the instigation of
the directors to be present at a conference with his colleagues

also he attended a series of general meetings of the missionary
body, which took place from August 22nd to September
4th, regarding the translation of the Scriptures, a work in
which lie was to take a principal part. About the middle
of December, he took up his residence at Shanghae, in com-
pany with his medical colleague, Mr. W.Lockhart; and the same
year he appears to have received the degree of D. D. from a
university in America. He remained at Shanghae, with the
exception of occasional excursions in the country, sometimes
for weeks together, till 1856 ; when being invited by the direc-
tors of the Society to return to his native land, he left Shanghae
on the 10th September, and landed at Southend oil the 21st

numbers of the Monthly Magazine, and was reprinted at Ba-

Chronology. 40 leaves. Batavia, 1829. This work, which is
printed by lithography, was again printed the same year
at Malacca, by wooden blocks. It exhibits the Chinese and
European accounts in parallel columns. The similarity be-
tween the more authentic records of the Chinese, and the
Scripture history, is remarkable. According to both, the
human race sprang from one individual, the flood occurred
about the same time, preceded by the. discovery of metals, and
followed by that of wine. The seven years famine of Egypt
nearly synchronize with those of China; and Sampson's strength
and fall have their counterpart in the east. The work was
drawn up to correct the vain boasting of the Chinese, and to
shew them that we possess records four thousand years ear-
lier than the Christian era. It was reprinted at Malacca, in
1833, in 30 leaves.

xylography. A second volume of 108 leaves, was published,
by lithography at Batavia, in 1834, treating of the Creation
and Fallot' Man, in 14 additional chapters. The first volume

leading truths of Christianity, drawn from the Old and New
its; followed by a copy of the Nestorian inscription
in, A. D. 781, and a discussion of its contents. Next
is a note on the Jesuit missionary Ricci ; another on his con-
pert Seu Kwang-ke : and a copy of Seu's Memorial to the
ror, in favour of the proscribed missionaries, A. D. 1017.
The whole is concluded by three proclamations by the Intend-
out of Circuit for Soo-chow, Sung-keang and Tae-ehang, in
favour of Christianity, A. D. 1845 ; the first on behalf of Ro-
man Catholics, the second more general, and the third defin-
ing the distinction between Roman Catholics and Protestants.
This was reprinted at Ningpo in 1847, in 20 leaves; omitting
all the part subsequent to the discussion of the Nestorian
monument. A revised edition was printed at Shanghae in
1851, in 31 leaves, which in addition to the original issue, has
a short account of Christ, extracted from the Shin seen t'iing
keen, a Taouist work of the 17th century ; and a longer memoir
on the same subject, from the Oiiih fang loae he, a Jesuit
work published in 1623. Another revision was published at
Shanghae in 1853, in 43 leaves ; having in addition to the
above, two inscriptions, from stone tablets in the Jews' syna-
gogue at Kae-fung-foo, giving an account of the introduction
and establishment of Judaism in China ; but omitting the
recent proclamations in favour of Christianity. The work
was again revised by the Rev. J. Edkins, and printed in
1858, in 32 leaves; with a short memorial of Dr. Medhurst
prefixed ; all the part following the Nestorian inscription in the
preceding edition, being omitted in this, and some explanatory
details regarding that inscription added by the royisor. This

of Dr. Medhurst.

of a Committee of Delegates from various missionary stations
in China, consisting of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Boone, the Rev.
Drs. Medhurst and Bridgman, and the Revs. J. Stronach, W.
Lowrie, and W. C. Milne. The work of the Committe com-
menced in 1847, and was completed in 1850; the greater part
having been done by Dr. Medhurst the President ; so that it
may well be considered his production.

Shanghae, 1855. This translation; was carried on for five or

after which it was continued to the end, by the missionaries
of the London Society, Rev. Dr. Medhurst, and Revs. J.
Stronach and W. C. Milne ; but as with the New Testament,
so with this* the execution of the work which Was completed in
1853, was mainly due to the energy and zeal of Dr. Medhurst.

Besides the above list, the contemporary periodical press was
considerably indebted to Dr. Medhurst for occasional contri-
butions. Many pieces from his pen are to be found in the
Chinese Repository, the North China Herald, and other
serials of the day.
Mrs. Medhurst was also instrumental in adding to the mis-
sionary literature, having translated "Lloyds Scripture. Cate-
chism" into the Malay language, which was printed by litho-
graphy, in 1832 at Batavia, in 208 leaves. It was printed
the following year, at the same press in the Roman character,
by typography, in 16 leaves. Referring to this Mr. Medhurst
remarks, that "an extensive population of professing Christians
in the Moluccas will be furnished with a system of doctrine
and precept, drawn entirely from Scripture, which may prove
widely and lastingly beneficial."

of the gospel. At length, by the blessing of God, a deep
interest was awakened in his mind, and he gave his heart to
the study of the word of God. His earnest desire for Christ-
ian baptism, and his reasons, were expressed to Dr. Burder
in a letter dated July 6th, 1838. Mr. Medhurstbeinf satisfied
of his sincerity, baptized him on the 20th of the same month
at St. Thomas' Square Chapel, Hackney, in the presence of
a large congregation. On the 3 1st, he left England in the
George the Fourth, with Mr. Medhurst and Mr. Lockhart
whom he accompanied to Batavia, arriving- there on the 5th
of November; from which place he went with the latter to
Canton, and reached that city about the end of January
1839. There he had been appointed to labour as Native As-
sistant, in the service of the London Missionary Society but
the troubles between the English and Chinese governments
beginning to break out about that time, he retired to his na-
tive village, and the engagement has not since been renewed.
V. JOHN SLATER was a member of the Independent
Church, in Great George street, Liverpool, where he was or-
dained, August 27, 1816, as a missionary to the heathen, at
the same time as John Donaldson. He and Mrs. Slater left
Europe the following year, in connection with the London
Missionary Society, together with the Rev. Mr. Thomsen,
a native of Saxony, who was returning to his mission station
at Malacca. On the voyage out, they were much encouraged
by an apparent reformation among the sailors, consequent on
their efforts for their spiritual good. Reaching Batavia, Mr.
Slater was attacked by the endemic fever peculiar to that
place, but after two months, he so far recovered, as to be
able to undertake the voyage to Malacca. While at Batavia,
he received great kindness from the Dutch Governor Van der
Capellan, who expressed his readiness to assist in establishing
a mission there. He left Batavia on December 10, in compa-
ny with Mr. Thomsen, arrived at Malacca on the 29th,
and began the study of the Chinese language on January 1st,
1818. His daughter Henrietta was born on February 1st.
While applying himself with ardour to study, the state of
his health obliged him frequently to desist, and on the 9th of
August, he left Malacca for China, from whence he returned,
much benefitted by the change. On the 27th of April, 1819,
he left for Batavia with his family, which place he reached on
the 18th of June, having touched at Singapore, Rhio, Ling-
in, Banca and Pontiano, on the way, and distributed Scrip-
tures and Tracts at those islands; being provided | with
about fifteen thousand Chinese and Malay hooks for that
purpose. Mr. Slater was the first to settle in Batavia, as a
[J, JOHN IXCE.
missionary to the Chinese; but he had scarcely provided him-
self with a house, when it was burnt to theground on October
2; Mrs. Slater having been confined only a fortnight«before. A
subscription by the inhabitants, principally English, enabled
him to repair the damage. While in Batavia, he eng
regularly In Chinese, Malay and English services, but his
health failing, he was obliged to undertake a voyage to sea in
1822. On his returm with partially improved health in 1823,
he dissolved his connection with the Society. Since then he
has entered into his rest.
VI. JOHN INCE was born August 20th, 1795, and
studied divinity under the Rev-. Dr. Bogue at Gosport. Toge-
ther with Messrs. Fleming and Mercer, he was ordained to the
sacred office, in connection with the London Missionary So-
ciety, at Union Chapel, Islington, London, on the evening of
January 22nd, 1818. On February 17, he left England with
Mrs. Ince in the General Graham, but meeting with very
tempestuous weather, they were driven far to the north and
anchored in the Downs on March 13. About the close of the
month, they again put to sea, touched at Simon's Bay on
June 21. where they remained a few days, left on the 30th,
and reached Madras on the 10th of August. Sailing from
thence on the 26th, they arrived at Malacca on the 14th of
September, having touched at Fenang on the way. On Octo-
ber 3rd, his daughter Matilda was born. During the time he
remained at Malacca, he gave himself to the study of the
Chinese language; but shortly left that settlement for Fen-
ang, where lie arrived with his family, on the 28th of June,
1819, that station having been pointed out to him by the
Directors, before he left England. There he soon established
schools for Chinese children, with the patronage and assistance
of the government. In the early part of 1821, in company
with Mr. Beighton, his colleague for the Malays, he performed
a missionary tour along the coast of Queda on the Malay
Peninsula, first visiting Queda Muda, distributing every-
where copies of the Chinese Scriptures and tracts, and enter-
ing into conversation with the Chinese. At Pulo Tega, they
had an interview with the Rajah, who gave them permission
to visit Queda. Later in the year he paid a visit to Malacca
with his wife and child, on account of their health. In 1822,
Mrs. Ince was called away to join her dear children, who had
preceded her to the heavenly world. In 1824, a neat and
commodious chapel was built for the use of the mission, to-
wards which the inhabitants of the settlement subscribed very
liberally. About that time the health of Mr. Ince declined
very rapidly, till ultimately the complaint settled on his lungs;
SAMUEL MILTON. 43
.and on the 24th of April, 1825, an abscess having formed, he
was released from his sufferings, after a lingering and painful
illness of some months duration. He left one daughter,
Matilda.
The only record we have of the literary labours of Mr. Ince,
is a "School book," printed at Malacca, in 1824.
VII. SAMUEL MILTON, a member of the Independent
Church, under the pastoral care of the Eev. E. P. Allen, in
Exeter, was ordained to the office of a missionary to the
heathen, on January 1st, 1818, under the patronage of the
local branch of the London Society. He sailed from Graves-
end with the Eev J. Ince and others in the General Graham
on the 17th of February, being exposed to the same vicissitudes
during the voyage, and arrived with them at Malacca on Sep-
tember 14th, where he had been appointed by the Directors of
the Society, to assist in the Chinese department of the mission.
He immediately set about the study of the Chinese language,
but his health was several times so impaired, as to oblige him
to cease, and at other times much to abate, his assiduous and
undeviating application. No sooner was the British flag
hoisted at Singapore, than a grant of land was obtained for
the mission there; and Mr. Milton proceeded, in 1819, to
commence operations for the benefit of the Chinese in that
island. He appears also to have given some time to the stu-
dy of Siamese, having actually begun a translation of the
Scriptures into that language; and on Dr. Morrison visiting
the station in April, 1823, it was proposed that he should
become Professor of Siamese in the Anglo-Chinese college
then about to be removed to Singapore. He took part in the
service, on occasion of laying the foundation stone of the Shiga-
pore Institution shortly after. During that year he went to Cal-
cutta to purchase articles for the Printing Office, lately esta-
blished in connection with the mission; brought back a com-
positor with him, and commenced printing the Siamese ver-
sion of Genesis; at the same time resuming his Siamese trans-
lation of the Scriptures. He had also composed a tract on
"Eedemption," in that language, but we do not find that it
was ever printed, although types were in preparation for the
purpose. In 1825, his connection with the Missionary Socie-
ty ceased; but he still continued to reside at Singapore, where
he died in 1849.
VIII. EOBEET FLEMING, who had studied under Dr.
Bogue at Gosport, was ordained as a Missionary:, in connec-
tion with the London Society, along with Mr. Ince, af Union
44 GEORGE H. IIUTTMAX.
Chapel Islington, January 22nd, 1818, and accompanied the
latter and Mr. Milton in the General Graham, as far as Madras,
where they landed on the 10th of August. As Mr. Knill the
missionary there was ojbliged to remove to a milder climate,
on account of his health, it was agreed by mutual consulta-
tion among the brethren, that Mr. Fleming should remain for
a time to supply his place. Accordingly he commenced at
once the study of the Tamul and Sanscrit languages ; the
former as necessary for conversing with the common natives;
the latter as the key to all the Hindoo mythology. During
his residence there, the mission received much encouragement
in their work. A new accession arrived in the latter part of
1819, Mr. Fleming having meantime formed a matrimonial
alliance at Madras, and being unable to procure a passage
direct to Malacca, his original destination, he proceeded with
Mrs. Fleming via Calcutta, which city he left on November
7th. From various causes, the ship was detained nearly six
weeks on the north coast of Sumatra, and while there, he had
the satisfaction of seeing the usurper of the throne of Acheen,
and the murderer of Sabat, driven from his scene of piracy
and bloodshed. They stopped three days at Penang, and ar-
rived at Malacca on the 29th of January, 1820 ; when he com-
menced the study of Chinese, finding great advantage from the
introductory books published by Dr. Morrison. Towards the
end of the year, he took charge of the schools. His connec-
tion with the mission however was of short duration, for he
retired from the service in 1823 ; and has since been removed
to another world.
IX. GEORGE H. HUTTMAN was engaged by the London
Missionary Society, to take charge of the printing establish-
ment at Malacca, which he reached on the 24th of September,
1820, having stopped at Batavia on the way out from England.
The superintendence of the printing office there was immedi-
ately committed to his hands under the direction of Dr. Milne;
thus relieving Mr. Medhurst from the duties connected with
it. These duties he continued satisfactorily to discharge till the
death of Dr. Milne in June, 1822, when he was appointed one
of the executors, and had the control of the mission committed
to him, in conjunction with Mr. Humphreys. In February
1823, when Dr. Morrison visited Malacca, he expressed great
satisfaction with the management of affairs there. Mr. Huff-
man voluntarily dissolved his connection with the Society the
same year; after which he went to Calcutta, where he was
engaged in the Government Press office.
JAMES HUMPHREYS. 45
X. JAMES HUMPHREYS, who had pursued his studies,
first at Glasgow, and afterwards at G-osport, was ordained as
an agent of the London Missionary Society, atOxendon Street
Chapel, London, on February 13th, 1821. Some short time
after, he embarked with Mrs. Humphreys in the Lonach,
bound for India ; but they were obliged by contrary winds to
put in at Falmouth. This port they left in the 21st of March,
and reached Madras on the 21st of July; whence they pro-
ceeded to Malacca, their destination, arriving there towards
the end of the year. On the death of Dr. Milne, Mr. Hum-
phreys succeeded him, as Principal of the Anglo-Chinese
college ; and besides the general superintendence, he conduc-
ted tlie English part of the education of the native students.
Being then very imperfectly acquainted with the Chinese lan-
guage, he held an English service in the Dutch Church, every
Sabbath morning, having been appointed Government Chap-
lain, which office he held till December, 1823, when he was
relieved by the arrival of a Dutch Minister. On the cession
of Malacca to the English in 1825, he was again appointed
Chaplain to the settlement temporarily. Mrs. Humphreys
died on the 29th of May, 1827, leaving three motherless chil-
dren; and his health having been in a precarious state
for a twelvemonth past, he paid a visit to Singapore shortly
after, from which he obtained a temporary benefit. Although
at the first he had given his attention to the Chinese language,
with a view to active service among that people; yet having
acquired a competent knowledge of the Malay, and the brethren
in that quarter considering that the Malays were not suffi-
ciently attended to, in 1827 he began to devote his attention
almost entirely to that branch of the mission, at the same
time resigning his office in the Anglo-Chinese college. A new
mission chapel was opened on the 14th of April that year, in
which lie held a Malay service on Sabbath evenings, and the
Malay and Tamil schools were under his charge, while he was
accustomed to visit the people in their own houses. He had
also the superintendence of the English and Malay printing
presses. In 1828, he again went to Singapore on account of
his health ; but his continued indisposition obliged him to
return to England the following year, where he arrived on the
2nd of November, with his two surviving children ; and his
connection with the Society ceased shortly after. Since that
time he has been removed to a better world.
XI. DAVID COLLIE, who had studied under Dr. Bogue
at Gospnrt, was ordained in connection with the LondonMis-
sionarv Society, at Castle Green Chapel, Bristol, on the 28th
September, 1821. On the 8th of November, he sailed with

17th of March, 1822, and left on the 20th, reaching Madras
on flhe 36th. There Mrs. Collie died on the 24th of May ;
and Mr. Collie arrived at his destination, Malacca, the 26th
of June. In 1823, during Dr. Morrison's visits to Malac-
ca, Mr. Collie enjoyed the benefit of his tuition in the Chinese
language, in which he made very gratifying progress; and after
the Doctor's departure, began to deliver a short discourse to
the Chinese congregation every Sabbath. The same year, he
was installed Professor of Chinese, and Librarian, in the
Anglo-Chinese college. In 1826, he was married a second
time; and in 1827, succeeded Mr. Humphreys, as Principal
of the Anglo-Chinese college. In 1828, his health began
to give way, under his arduous and unremitting labours, and
by medical advice, he embarked for Singapore on the 26th
of February, but died at sea the following day, his body be-
ing committed to the deep. He left a widow and one child
to deplore his loss.

XII. SAMUEL KIDD was born at Welton, near Hull,
on the 19th of June, 1799, and seems to have been the sub-
ject of religious impressions at an early age. After he left
the village school, he was instructed by his maternal grand-
father in English Grammar and Mathematics, before he had
attained his twelfth year. In October, 1817, he was admitted
a member of the church in Fish street, Hull, under the Rev.
J. Gilbert, and shortly after, began to long for an engage-
ment as a missionary to the heathen. This wish becoming
known to the church of which he was a member, he was en-
couraged to consecrate his life to the service. About the end
of 1820, he begau a course of study under Dr. Bogue at Cos-
port, in connection with the London Missionary Society. On the
22nd of April, 1824, he was married to Hannah Irving. On
the 28th of the same month, he was ordained at Fi si i street
Chapel, Hull. Proceeding to London, he received his first
lesson in Chinese, from Dr. Morrison. May 24th, he sailed
with his wile from Gravesend, in the Pyramus, reached Ma-
dras on the 30th of September ; sailed from thence on the
iS SAMUEL KIDD.
18th of October, in the Helen, got to Penang on the 3rd of
November, where they remained till the 13th, and arrived at
Malacca their ultimate destination, on the 21st. He had al-
ready begun the study of the written language on board ship.
and commenced the Fuli-keen dialect of the Chinese within
a week of his arrival at the station; placing himself tinder
the instruction of Mr. Collie, as a student in the college. After
the death of Mr. Ince, in 1825, Mr. Kidd went to Penang to
assist Mr. Beighton, from which place he returned in the earl ,r
part of 1826'. In 1827, he was appointed professor of Chinese
in the Anglo-Chinese college ; on the death of Mr. Collie in
1828, he succeeded as principal; and on the 5th of April,
1829, baptized Tsze Hea a Chinese youth, the first-fruit of the
college. In December, 1829, he accompanied Mrs. Kidd and
her three children to Singapore, on their return to England.
on account of her health, where they arrived on the 24th of
April, 1830. In the absence of a chaplain, that year, Mr.
Kidd undertook an English service in the church every Sab-
bath. In 1831, his health began to suffer, and he was obliged
to visit Singapore in the early part of the year with a view to
its restoration; but was ultimately compelled to take a
voyage to Europe with the same object, in the following year ;
and arrived in England, in June; and as he never sufficiently
rallied to admit of his return, his relation to the Society was
amicably terminated. After a pastorate of three years over
the congregational Church at Manningtree in Essex, he was
appointed Professor of the Chinese Language and Literature,
in University College, London, in 1837, for the term of live
years, which terminated in October 1842. Pending arrange-
ments for the renewal of his engagement, he was carried off by
an epileptic fit, on June 12th, 1843, leaving a widow and
seven children.

on the 21st, and arrived at Madras on the 11th of September;
from which he embarked in the Euphemia, and reached Ma-
lacca towards the end of the year. His attention was at first
given to the Fuh-keen dialect, which he studied under the
guidance of Mr. Collie. On the 14th of April, 1827, he con-
ducted the English service at the opening of the new mission
chapel at Malacca, and almost immediately after, left for Sin-
gapore, where his service was more needed. On the 24th of
September, an association was formed, with the designation —
"The Singapore Conmittee for extending the benefits of Edu-
cation and the Knowledge of Christianity in Singapore and
in the neighbouring Countries"; of which Mr. Smith was ap-
pointed Secretary. On the death of Mr. Collie however, he
returned to Malacca in April, 1S2S, and occupied the Chinese
chair in the college. In the latter part of 1829, he was obli-
ged to leave Malacca on account of his health, and arrived
in England on the 17th of February, 1830; soon after which
he retired from his connection with the Society. He has since
entered into his rest.
XIV. JACOB TOMLIN, a clergyman, and A. B. of the
University of Cambridge, Avas set apart to the missionary
service, together with the Rev. John Smith, at Trevor Chap-
el, Brompton, April 19th, 1826. On the 20th of June, he
sailed from the Downs, in the Florentia, and arrived at
Calcutta, on the 22nd of October. After a stay of about two
months, he sailed for Malacca, which he reached in the early
part of 1827, and there commenced the study of the Fuh-keen
dialect. In April he went to Singapore, in company with Mr.
Smith. Towards the end of the year, he was induced to visit
Batavia, on account of his health, Avhere he remained two
months, and returned to Singapore early in 1828 ; from which
he made a visit to Rhio, in company with Mr. Giitzlaff. Af-
ter the death of Mr. Collie, Mr. Tomlin removed to Malacca
in March, to take charge Of the junior English and Chinese
classes in the college ; and accompanied Mr. Humphries in,
some excursions into the interior of the peninsula; but he was
relieved from that post by Mr. Smith's arrival in April, and
returned to Singapore. On the 4th of August, he left for a
visit to Siam with the Rev. Mr. Giitzlaff, and after a voyage
of fifteerj days, they arrived at Bankok. There he remained
distributing books, and doing what he could among the Chi-
nese inhabitants, till the middle of May, 1829, when he star-
ted for Singapore, arriving after a passage of five weeks; where
he resumed his labours of teaching and preaching. In autumn
he embarked for Batavia, where he arrived with Mrs. Tomlin
on October, 31st and from November to January accompanied
SAMUEL DYKR. f, I
Mr. Medlmrst on his tour to the island of Bali, returning to
Singapore early in 1S30. On June 17th, 1831., he again em-
barked for Slam in an Arab vessel, in company with Mr. A-
bcel, and reached Bankok on July 3; where they remained till
the 14th of January in the following year, and then returned
to Singapore in about a week. Mr. Tomlin proceeded to
Malacca, where his wife was residing; and on the departure
of Mr. Kidd for England, he succeeded him as Principal of
the Anglo-Chinese college, his connection with the Mission-
ary Society having in the mean time been dissolved. His
post in the college, he held till the close of 1833; during
which time ho introduced a radical reform, abolishing the
monthly stipend allowed to the students, which rule applied
to all new candidates for admission. In 1834, ho commenced
a seminary at Malacca, on a new principle, entitled, "The
Benevolent Institution, or Christian School for all Nations."
This embraced English, Malay, Portuguese and Chinese bran-
ches, in each of which, the youth were instructed in their
own language, while all were taught English and Malay,
through the medium of their respective vernacular tongues.
In 1836, he went to Bengal, leaving the School under the
charge of a German missionary, recently arrived ; but he still
took the principal onus of its support. He has since held a
pastorate in England.
Although Mr. Tomlin was engaged with Mr. Giitzlaff, in
translating the Scriptures into Siamese, Ave do not hear of his
work having been brought to maturity in that department.
The following are some of his productions in English.

on the 20th of January, 1804, at the Royal Hospital at Green-
wich, near London, while his father vyas Secretary of that in-
stitution. His education was conducted under the parental
roof, till he was twelve years of age. About that time, he
was sent to a boarding school at Woolwich, superintended by
the Rev. John Bickerdike, a dissenting Minister. In 1820,
his father being appointed to the Chief-clerkship of the Ad-
miralty, removed with his family to Paddington, where they
attended the ministry of the Rev. J. Stratten. It was there
that Samuel was converted, became a member of the Christian
church in 1822, and devoted himself for several years to the
work of the Sunday school. At first he studied for the Law,
but while at Cambridge University, lie first conceived the
thought of becoming a missionary. This thought maturing
with time, on the 23rd of June, 1824, he offered himself to
the London Missionary Society, by whom he was accepted,
and sent for a time to the missionary seminary at (losport.
On the 20th of February 1827, he was ordained at Paddington
Chapel; and was shortly after married to the eldest daughter
of Joseph Tarn, Esq. with whom he sailed for the Straits of
Malacca, on the 10th of March, reached Madras on the 17th
of July, and arrived at Penang on the 8 th of August; where
finding the mission in a very enfeebled state, he resolved on
remaining, instead of proceeding to Malacca, his original des-
tination. Besides the study of the language, the care of
schools, and preaching, he bestowed much of his time in the
invention and perfecting of Chinese metal type, with a view
to the printing of the Scriptures, an object he ever kept in
view; and he succeeded in the partial formation of two fonts,
winch have never been excelled for accuracy and beauty. To-
wards the end of 1828, he went to Malacca, for the purpose
of visiting the brethren there, and making arrangements for the
printing of Chinese books. In the earlier part oi 1831, Mr.
Dyer again visited Malacca, in company with Mrs. Dyer.
While at Penang he lost a daughter in infancy, his firstborn,
but he had also some surviving offspring whim he left that
island. In 1835 he went to reside at Malacca, where he ar-
rived on the 26th of October, and devoted himself more especi-
ally to the charge of the Printing office, and type founding.
During his residence there, he was much encouraged by the
aspect of affairs, but the state of Mrs. Dyer's health required
that he should leave Malacca for a time; accordingly he em-
barked with his family in the John Dugdale from Singapore
dn the 15th of May, 1839, and arrived in England on the
19th of September. He sailed again for the East, with his
family, on the 2nd of August, 1841, onboard the Piantagenet,
got to Cape Town on the 12th of October, where they made a
short stay, and reached Calcutta by the middle of December.
SAMUEL DYER, ;>.'>
About the 26th of February, 1842, they arrived at Singapore,
where he was now appointed, having touched at Penang and
Malacca on the way. There he remained occupied with various
departments of mission work till July 18, 1843, when he left
to join the London Mission conference, and also to be present at
a general convention of missionaries at Hongkong, to consult in
regard to the translation of the Sacred Scriptures, his family
meantime remaining at Singapore. He reached Hongkong
on the 7th of August, was appointed Secretary of the con-
vention, and continued there throughout the meetings. At
the close of these he visited Canton, and thence embarked in
a vessel for Singapore, which touched at Macao on the way.
There he was attacked so severely with fever, that it was found
necessary to move him ashore, where he died on the 21st of
October, and was buried in the Protestant cemetery, by the
side of Dr. Morrison. He left a son, now in England; and two
daughters, the eldest of whom, Burella, was married to the
llev. J. Burdon, a missionary in Shanghae, where she died;
the youngest, Maria, was married to Mr. J. H. Taylor, a mis-
sionary in Ningpo, with whom she returned to England, and
now resides in London.

Besides the above, Mr. Dye? contributed largely to the
periodical literature of the time; and many important articles
from his pen may he found in the Calcutta Christian Obser-

popular serials.

GUST GUTZLAFF, the son of Johann Jacob Gutzlaff, a tailor,
and a pious man, was horn at Pyritz, a small town in Prussian
Pomerania, on the 8th of July, 1803. He was deprived of his
mother at the age of four. In early life, he was apprenticed
to a hrazier, and in 1818, first conceived the idea of becoming
a missionary to the heathen ; although at one time, he was
engaged studying the Arahic and Turkish languages, with
the intention of ultimately joining the Prussian Legation at
Constantinople. At the age of eighteen he went to study at
the Missionary Institute at Berlin. In 1823, he repaired to
Rotterdam, was accepted by the Netherlands Missionary So-
ciety, and continued his studies there awhile. From Rotter-
dam he made a journey to Paris and London, in order to gain
information regarding the requisites for a Missionary to the
Malayan Archipelago, whither he had decided to go. On the
20th of July, 1826, he was ordained at Rotterdam, and sailed
on the 11th of September in the Helena Christina, for Batavia
where he arrived on the 6th of January, 1827. There he
lodged for a time with Mr. Medhurst, by whom he was initia-
ted into the Malay and Chinese languages, in which latter he
made astonishing progress. Although originally destined for
the island of Sumatra, the Avarlike state of affairs prevented
him going there at that time, and he took up his residence at
Rhio, where he was appointed chaplain in conjunction with
his missionary duties. His stay in that island however does
not appear to have been of long duration, for we find him
at Singapore in 1828. On the 4th of August the same year,
he left that place with Mr. Tomlin in a Chinese junk for Siam,
where they landed on the 23rd. In 1829, he left the service
of the Netherlands Society; went to Singapore, at the invita-
tion of the Rev. Mr. Smith, and thence to Malacca, where he
took charge of the London Mission, during the absence of the
resident missionary; at the same time he married Miss. Mary
Newell an English lady, and returned with her to Singapore,
which they left for Siam on the 14th February 1830. In the
early part of 1831, Mrs. Gutzlaff gave birth to a daughter and
both mother and babe found a final resting place at Bankok.
The death of the latter took place some ten days after he had
gone, on board a junk to proceed to China. They finally

along the coast, reached T'een-tsin towards the end of Sep-
tember, and the following month proceeded northwards up
the G-ulf of Leaou-tung; whence they returned to the south,
arriving at Macao on the 13th of December. Mr. Griitzlaff
had commended himself to the natives, by the practice of
medicine among them, having also adopted the native garb,
and assumed one of their clan names; while he distributed
Christian books to a great extent, on every available occasion.
On the 25th of February the following year, he again em-
barked, in the Lord Amherst, a ship chartered by the East
India Company, for a voyage along the coast of China, Formo-
sa, Corea, and Loo-choo, in which he acted as interpreter and
surgeon. Although the object of the projectors failed, in open-
ing up a new channel for trade, he had an opportunity of dis-
tributing many books among the people; and returned to Ma-
cao, on September 5. On the 12th of October, he undertook
another voyage to the. north in the Sylph, from which he re-
turned to Canton on the 29th of April, 1833. He continued
much of the time, for the next year, in various vessels on the
coast, engaged in distributing Christian books and speaking to
the people; having received occasional pecuniary grants from
the London Missionary Society. In March, 1834, he made a
visit to Malacca, where lie was married to Miss Warnstall, an
English lady, residing in the family of the Hon. S. Grarling, then
Eesident of the settlement. In 1835. he was appointed one
of the Chinese secretaries to the English commission in Chi-
na. On the 24th June, 1837, he sailed in the British ship
Ealeigh for Fuh-chow, from which they crossed over to Loo-
choo, and on the 15th of July he was put on board the
American ship Morrison, then on a mission to Japan, to take
back some shipwrecked Japanese. They reached the Bay of
Yedo, but were unsuccessful in the object of their voyage,
and returned to Macao on the 29th of August. In 1838, Mr.
Griitzlaff again made a trip to Fuh-keen ; his home being still
at Macao till the breaking out of the war in 1839. During
the period of hostilities, he was employed in a variety of ways;
a part of the time, be was specially attached to Sir Hugh
Gough's staff. He was for some time magistrate at Chusan
in 1842-3; and on the decease of the Hon. J. R. Morrison,
in August, 1S43, he succeeded, him as Chinese Secretary to
the government of Hongkong, which post he held till his
death. In the midst of bis multifarious official duties how-
ever, he did not forget the mission work ; and among other
schemes for extending the cause, in 1S44, he established a
Society of natives, under the name of the p[ fT Hanhwuy
"Chinese Union, " for the purpose of preaching the Gospel,
and distributing books far and wide throughout the empire.

he visited Europe, where lie was married to Miss Gabriel,
an English lady, with whom he returned to China in January,

year.

XVII. || Yang. WILLIAM YOUNG, born in the Ma-
layan Archipelago, became a member of the Baptist church;
and while residing at Batavia in his early days, formed an
acquaintance with Mr. Medhurst, by whom he was engaged as
Assistant in the mission work there in 1828. During the ab-
sence of the latter on his tour to the Malayan peninsula and
the islands, the affairs of the station were left in the charge
of Mr. Young, who gave much satisfaction, and made good
progress in the Chinese and Malay languages. In 1829 he
preached regularly in Mala}7 ; to the Amboynese, a service
which there is reason to hope was attended by a blessing to
some. The following year he took the superintendence of the
mission schools, which he sustained in conjunction with other
duties, with fidelity and perseverance. While Mr. Medhurst
was absent at Canton, and along the coast of China in 1835,
the onus of the Batavia station fell entirely on Mr. Young ;
and he continued to discharge the various duties, aided by
Mr. Barenstein, while Mr. Medhurst was on a visit to his na-
tive land, from 1836 to 1838. The severity of the labour
however told so much upon his health, that on the return of
Mr. Medhurst from England, it was found necessary for Mr.
Young to take a sea voyage, and he paid a visit to Macao the
following year, whence he returned in 1840. greatly improved,
lie resumed his duties of preaching in Chinese and. Malay and
superintending the schools; and again took the general charge
while Mr. Medhurst was absent on a journey to the eastern
extremity of Java. In 1843, when Batavia was abandoned as
a mission station by the London Society, and the brethren
repaired to the conference at Hong-kong, Mr. Young was ap-
pointed to carry forward the Chinese department of the mission
WILLIAM VOLiM.. (,7
at Singapore. There he remained till the .summer of 1844.
when he removed with his wife to China, and arrived at Amoy
on July 8th, where he had been appointed as Assistant mission-
ary. At first he was located with the Rev. J. Stronach on the
adjoining island of Koo-lang-seu, from which he made occa-
sional itinerancies on the main land, in company with some
of the missionaries ; and ultimately they succeeded in procur-
ing a house, and opened a chapel in the town of Amoy, on
December 1st. There Mr. Young conducted divine worship
in Chinese alternately with Mr. Stronach; as also in the chapel
of the American brethren. In 1846, the health of Mrs. Young,
who had been assiduous in her labours among the Chinese,
suffered so severely, that he found it needful to accompany
her to Hongkong in August, and thence to England, which
they reached on the 11th of April, 1847. Having been rein-
vigorated by this visit, they sailed again for China with a largo
missionary party in the Ferozepore on the 19th of March, 1848,
reaching Hong-kong in July, and arrived at Amoy on the 2nd
of September. About this time, he appears to have been or-
dained to the ministry. In 1850, he found it necessary again
to visit Hong-kong with his wife, on account of their health :
and in consequence of the complete failure of Mrs. Young, it was
deemed expedient to undertake a voyage to Australia in the
early part of 1854. On the way to Singapore, they suffered
a disastrous shipwreck, but at length reached Sydney in safety
on the 9th of September, where Mr. Young commenced preach-
ing to the Chinese emigrants settled in that city. Although
unable to return to the scene of his former labours, he con-
tinued to exert himself for the good of the Chinese ; and after
the death of Mrs. Young, which occurred early in 1857, he
still remained in the country, sustaining a connection with the
Missionary Society till 1858, when it appears to have termi-
nated. He has since that time been engaged as pastor of a
Chinese church in Ballarat, in connection with' the Presbyterian
church in Australia.

He was converted at the early age of eleven, and became a
communicant of the Congregational Church in his nati've town
Tinder, the pastorate of the Rev. E. Porter, in his twelfth year.
Soon after, he hecaine deeply interested in the Missionary
work, ami it was his desire to carry '-'the glad tidings" to the
heathen, that determined him, eventually to abandon the
agricultural pursuits of his early life, and prepare for the
ministry,. His academical studies were pursued in his native
town ; his collegiate at Amherst; where he graduated in 1826 :
and his theological at Andover. He was ordained a mission-
ary to the heathen on (jot. 6th, 1829. in connection with the
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and

welcomed by Dr Morrison, then the only Protestant mission-
ary settled within tin1 empale. From the commencement, and
throughout his long career, he exhibited not only a do.

was present on every occasion, and at the session of August
25th, was appointed with Mr. Dean, to confer on rendering
the word Baptizo in Chinese; but they gave in their report
on the 1st of September, to the effect that they were not pre-
pared to recommend any term.
When the American Legation under Caleb dishing arrived
in China, in February, 1844, Dr. Bridgman was appointed
joint Secretary with Dr. Parker, and also Chaplain to the Le
gation. On the 28th of June, 1845, he was married to Eliza
Jane Gillet, in the Colonial chapel at Hong-kong, and returned
to Canton on July 3rd. In September, he paid a visit to Hong-
kong, with Mrs. Bridgman. Having been deputed to represent
Canton in the Committee of Delegates for the translation of
the New Testament, he arrived atShanghae June 23rd, 1S47,
in order to be present at their meetings. He was a regain i
attendent at these from their commencement on July 1st, 1847,
till the completion of the New Testament in the Summer oi
1850. He was then elected to the same post, in the committee
for translating the Old Testament which commenced on the
1st of August of that year, and was dissolved on the 12th of
February, 1851. After that, he still remained in Shanghae
engaged in translating the Scriptures, till February 3rd, 1852,
when, on account of ill health, he embarked with Mrs. Bridg-
man in the Adelaide for New York, where they arrived on the
16th of June. Eeembarkingin the Wild Pigeon, on Oct. 12th,
they returned via Cape Horn and San Francisco, reaching

1854, he accompanied the expedition in the U. S. steamer to
the insurgents at Nan-king, and further on to Woo-hoo, act-
ing as interpreter on the occasion. In 1856, he paid a hasty
visit to Fuh-chow ; and in November of the same year, he and
Mrs. Bridgman made a trip to Ning-po. He was actively
instrumental in the formation of the North China Branch of
the Royal Asiatic Society, being chosen President at the com-
mencement, in 1857, which office he held till September, J 851).
From the period of his return from America, his time was
chiefly occupied with a new translation of the Scriptures, in
concert with the Rev. M. S. Culbertson, up to the last, days of
his life. He died November 2nd, 1861, in his own house, and
was buried in the Shanghae cemetery, where a marble monn

XIX. 8H j& M Ya Pe-le. DAVID ABEEL was born at
New Brunswick, New Jersey, U. S. Juno 12, 1804. His fami-
ly was originally from Amsterdam in Holland ; and his father
was an officer in the United States £avy during the revolu-
tion. His mother Jane Hassert was distinguished for her
piety. At the age of fifteen he sought admission into the
Military Academy at West Point, but withdrew his applica-
tion, on account of the large number who had previously ap-
plied, and turned his attention to the study of medicine for
about a year. When about seventeen years of age, his mind
was seriously arrested by religious truth. After due consider-
DAVID ABEEL. 73
ation he devoted himself to the work of the ministry, and in
1823, entered the Theological Seminary at New Brunswick,
where lie completed his course in April, 1826. On the 20th
of the same month he was licensed to preach, and during the
next month received his commission as pastor in Athens,
Greene county, New York, where he continued two years and
a half, labouring with considerable success. In November
1828, he sailed for St. John's one of the Danish West Indian
islands, to recruit his energies, and with the expectation of
proclaiming the Gospel as he found opportunity. The people
there had enjoyed no regular preaching for thirty-six years,
but the government prohibited him exercising his sacred call-
ing, and after holding services for two months, he was forbid-
den to continue the meetings. He therefore returned to New
York, in August, 1829, and soon after, a proposition was
made to him to go to China as chaplain for the Seamen's
Friend Society, to labour for seamen frequenting the port of
Canton. This he accepted with the understanding that, after
one year, he was to enter the service of the American Board
of Foreign Missions, for the purpose of exploring the islands
and countries in eastern Asia, to ascertain the best positions
for mission stations. He sailed for Canton October 14th in
the Roman, in company with the Eev. E. C. Bridgman, and
reached his field of labour February 25th, 1830. While
preaching to the seamen, he gave a portion of his time to the
study of the Chinese language, intending to devote his life to
Jaboius for the heathen, according to his original plan. A
free passage having been offered him to Anjier, in the II. C.
S. Castle Huntley, he sailed for Java, December 29th, on his
tour of exploration. From Anjier, he reached Batavia, Ja-
nuary 20th, 1831, where he was greatly aided by the Rev. W.
H. Medhurst, in his inquiries concerning the Chinese and
Malays. From Java, he proceeded on June 4th to Singapore,
where he arrived on the 14th, and met the Rev. J. Tomlin,
about leaving for Siam. They sailed together on the 17th in
an Arab ship for Bankok, where they landed July 2nd. There
he remained till the 7th of the following January, distributing
tracts, and exploring the place for a missionary station, re-
turning to Singapore on the 13th. On March Cth he left for
a trip to Malacca, in order to recruit his energies, and arrived
there on the 12th. On the 27th, he again embarked in a na-
tive brig, and reached Singapore April 2nd. He started again
on the 18th of the same month, in a Chinese junk for Siam,
where he landed on the 19th of May. He left that country
in a schooner on November 5th, and reached Singapore in
little more than two weeks. On the 28th of the same month,
he left Singapore in company with the Rev. M. Thomsen, for
a visit to Rhio, in the ship Dedierike ; and on his return to
74 DAVID ABEEL.
Singapore, he supplied by invitation, the place of the English
chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Burn, who was then ill, and soon after
died. Failing health however compelled him to leave, and on
May 25th, 1833, he embarked in the Cambridge, and reached
England October 21st, with health strengthened and mind
refreshed. He also visited France, Germany and Switzerland,
and laboured in Holland to induce the churches to cooperate
with the Reformed Dutch Church in America, in the cause of
eastern missions. On September 6th, 1834, he reached New
York, and remained in the United States about four years.
He was detained there beyond his original expectation, by
renewed attacks of disease ; but finally sailed the second time
from America, October 17th, 1838, in the Morrison, in com-
pany with the Rev. S. R. Brown, and B. P. Keasbury and
their wives, a free passage having been given to the whole
party by the owners of the ship, Messrs. Olyphant & Co. They
reached Macao February 20th, 1839, and there Mr. Abeel re-
mained for most of the next two years in the study of the
Chinese language ; although he suffered from frequent attacks
of disease of the heart. In April, 1841, he made a trip to
Singapore, where he remained supplying the vacant pulpit,
at the request of the residents. In October, he visited the
mission stations at Sambas and Poutianak in Borneo, in com-
pany with the Rev. Mr. MacBryde, and returned to Singa-
pore in December, proceeding thence to Macao. On February
2nd, 1842, he left that place in company with the Rev. W. J.
Boone, in a lorcha for Hong-kong, whence they sailed in the
Australian packet on the 7th, and proceeded to Koo-lang-seu,
a small island opposite Amoy, where they arrived on the 24th.
There Mr. Abeel commenced his missionary work among the
Chinese, and acted for a time as chaplain to the English troops
stationed on the island. During the year 1843, he took up
his residence at Amoy, having received some associates in the
mission cause there. Increasing weakness in the early part
of 1844, compelled him to leave his work for a little, and
spend a few weeks at Canton and Hong-kong ; whence he re-
turned to Amoy in September refreshed by the change.
During this summer, he received the degree of D. D. from
Rutger's college in New-Jersey, but wrote to that institution
declining the honour. In November, the state of his health
compelled him to stop preaching, and retire from the field.
He left Amoy December J 9th. remained at Hong-kong and
Canton for a short time ; after which embarking in the Nat-
chez, January 14th, 1845, he reached New York on April 3rd,
so exhausted that he was carried from the ship to his friends.
He was able however after that to travel from one part of the
country to another, visiting his numerous acquaintances, and
having taken a tour as far south as Georgia, he returned in
["" ,"\ HERMAN' ROTTGER 75
April; made a visit to Rhode Island, and to the house of a
cousin at Geneva, New York. He had reached Albany on his
return south, when he could proceed no further, and his pro-
longed sufferings were terminated by death on September 4th
1S4G. His remains were interred in Greenwood cemetery,
near New York, where a monument has been erected to his
memory, partly at the expence of the children of the Sabbath
schools.

This anonymous pamphlet is without date, or any indication
of the place where printed; but appears probably to have been
published while the author was residing in the Straits, about
1833. It is a fervent appeal against the lamentably prevalent
custom in the East, of Europeans holding illicit connexions
with the native females.

A volume of Sermons on the subject of Missions was also
contemplated by Dr. Abeel, but only two or three detached
ones were printed.
A good many articles by him are to be found in the earlier

XX. HERMAN ROTTGER, an ordained agent of the
Netherlands Missionary Society, came out to the East in
1832, having been appointed with four other Dutch Mission-
aries, to the Moluccas. The recent exploits of Mr. Gtitzlaff
however, along the coast of China, seem to have had a power-
ful influence, in diverting his sympathy towards that people ;
and the following year, having determined to give himself to
the Chinese Mission, he took up his residence at Rhio, on the
island of Bintang. He was also appointed Chaplain to the
Dutch government there. In 1841, he made a tour to the
islands of Lingin, Banca; Sumatra, &c, distributing Bibles

among the natives; and had contemplated a more extended
journey over Borneo and Sumatra, when ill health compelled
him to return to Europe next year. He appears subsequently
to have resumed his station however, but retired from the
missionary service in 184G, and eventually returned to Ger-
many.
XXL JOHN EVANS was for many years engaged in the
work of education in England, and trained a number of pupils
for Cambridge and Oxford Universities, having been successive-
ly Professor of Classics, Mathematics, Hebrew and Arabic. He
was ordained as a missionary for the Chinese department of
the Ultra-Granges mission, in connection with the London
Society, at Hertford, on the 14th of December, 1832. Being-
appointed to Malacca, he sailed from Gravesend with Mrs.
Evans and their little boy, in the Emma for Singapore, on the
13th of March, 1833, and reached Batavia on the 7th of July.
After a week's sojourn therewith Mr. Medhurst, they went on
to Singapore, where they arrived on the 23rd. Thence they
proceeded to Malacca in the Forth, where they arrived on the
8th of August. On May 1st 1834, Mr. Evans succeeded Mr.
Tomlin, as principal of the Anglo Chinese College. The health
of Mrs. Evans in 1840 necessitating a change of climate, she
left Malacca in the Autumn and arrived in London on the 5th
of November that year. On the 28th of the same month, Mr.
Evans being called to visit the Kev. J. Hughes, a short distance
from Malacca, who was in his last sufferings from cholera, was
himself suddenly attacked by that disease, and died in less
than five hours from its commencement.

and subsequently he had charge of the East India Company's
printing office at Macao. On the 3rd of July, 1837, he cm-
barked with a party in the Morrison, to convey a number of
shipwrecked Japanese back to their native land, but the expe-
dition proving unsuccessful, after visiting Loo-choo andYedo,

land, and during his stay received the degree of L.L.D. There
he formed a matrimonial alliance, and having embarked at
New York with Mrs. Williams in the Samuel Russell, on June
1st, 1848, he arrived at Canton in September, to resume his
duties as Superintendent of the Press. In 1853, he was ap-
pointed Interpreter to the American expedition to Japan, in
which capacity he sailed from Macao in the U. S. ship Sara-
toga, about the middle of May, and reached Loo-choo on the
26th, where they met the other ships of the squadron. Leav-
ing Napa on the 9th of June for a visit to the Bonin isles, they
arrived there on the 14th, returned to Loo-cho > on the 24th,
and set sail for Japan un the 2nd of July, reaching that conn-

Seminary, Andover, U. S., was ordained as a missionary of
the Board of Commissioners tor Foreign Missions, at White
River Village, Vermont, on the 28th of September, 1832; He
embarked at New York with Mr. S. W. Williams, in the
Morrison, for China, in June, 1833, and reached Canton on
the 26th of October. The Board having purchased a printing
establishment at Singapore about that time, authorized Mr.
Tracy to remove there, and take the superintendence. He
arrived accordingly, on the 24th of July 1834, and initiated
the American mission in that settlement. There he was mar-
ried to Miss White in 1835, and remained till the time of his
retirement from the missionary service in 1841, consequent
upon ill health.

XXIV. STEPHEN JOHNSON was born at Ghriswold,
Connecticut, received his education at Amherst, Massachu-
setts, and became a member of the Christian church in 1827.
He studied for the ministry at Auburn Seminary. New York ;
after which he was ordained, and appointed a missionary to
the Chinese, by the American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions. He was married to Hannah Maria Preston,
on May 26, 1833, with whom he sailed from Boston on the
10th of June, accompanied by Messrs. Robinson, Lyman and
Munson with their wives. On September 30th, they arrived
at Batavia, and thence, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson with Mr. and
Mrs. Robinson proceeded to Singapore. On the 14th of Nov.
Mr. Johnson embarked with his wife in a ship bound from
that port to Siam, but being driven back by the monsoon,
they returned to Singapore on the 31st of December. There
however he advanced with the study of the Chinese language
under good advantages ; and eventually they reached Bankok
in company with Mr. Robinson and family on the 25th of July,
1834. During the year 1835, they lost two children by death.
In consequence of the state of Mrs. Johnson's health, he left
with his family for the United States, in the summer of 1838,
and after being detained for two months at Mauritius by a
leak in the ship, they reached Philadelphia on December 6.
Shortly after, he was called to Boston, and during his absence,
Mrs. Johnson died at' Philadelphia on Januarys, 1839. In
November, 1840, Mr. Johnson was married to Mary Fowler,
and soon after embarked for the East. They reached Bankok,
May 11, 1841, and on July 1st, Mrs. Johnson died of fever,
supposed to have been contracted at Java, where they called

on the way. In 1846, Mr. Johnson left Siam, and arrived at
Fun-chow, the 2nd of January the following year, the first to
commence a mission at that port. September 17th, 1849, he
was married to Caroline M. Selmer, a native of Stockholm
engaged in missionary work at Ningpo, in concert with Miss
Aldersey. He left China at the close of 1852, returned to the
United States, and retired from the missionary services. He
now resides in St. Lawrence county, New York.
There is a descriptive account of Fuh-chow by Mr. Johnson,
in the 16th volume of the Chinese Repositoiy.
XXV. SAMUEL MUNSON, a student from Andover
Theological Seminary, was ordained as a missionary of the
American Board of Commissioners, at Orleans, U. S., on Oct.
10th, 1822. He embarked for the East with Mrs. Munson,
at Boston, U. S. on June 10th, 1833, accompanied by the
Revs. Messrs. Lyman, Johnson and Robinson, with their
wives, and arrived at Batavia on the 30th of September. The
special mission of Messrs. Munson and Lyman, was a tour of
observation and inquiry among the islands of the Indian
Archipelago, and especially what may be termed the Malayan
group ; that is Sumatra and some small islands in its neigh-
bourhood, Java, Celebes, and the Sula islands, the Moluccas
and Borneo. On reaching Batavia, Mr. Munson devoted his
attention primarily to the Chinese language, under the guid-
ance of Mr. Medhurst. Leaving their wives at Batavia, these
two brethren started on the 8th of April, 1834, for a tour.
On the 26th, they arrived at Padang, where they remained
till May 12th, and reached Nias on the 28th. On June 17th
they reached Tappanovly in the island of Sumatra, from
whence they started on the 23rd to penetrate into the interior
of the Battak country. Although friends endeavoured to
dissuade them from their purpose, on account of apprehended
danger, they persisted in their original intention, and on the
afternoon of the 28th, while pursuing their journey, between
G-oeting and Tobah, they were suddenly surrounded by a
large party of Battak cannibals and immediately dispatched ;
Mr. Munson being run through the body with a spear, and
consumed by the savages on the following day.
XXVI. fg II Pih Red. PETER PARKER, a medical
graduate, and student of the New Haven Theological Semin-
ary, was ordained as a missionary, at Philadelphia, on May
16th, 1834, with a view to his proceeding to China under the
American Board of Commissioners. On the 3rd of June, he
embarked at New York in the Morrison, for China, and
82 PETER PARKER.
arrived at Canton on October 26th ; but left again on the
1 4th of December in the Fort William, to join Mr. Tracy at
Singapore. There he opened a dispensary for the Chinese on
January 1st, 1835, and continued it till the following August.
Soon after that he returned to Canton, and commenced an
Opthalmic Hospital at that port. In May, 1836, he made a
temporary visit to Macao, during some repairs of the hospital.
When the Morrison sailed for Japan, with a party of ship-
wrecked natives on July 3rd. 1837, Dr. Parker joined the
expedition as surgeon, and had an opportunity of practising
among the Loo-chooans at Napa, but the object of the voyage
having utterly foiled, he returned in the vessel to Macao on
the 29th of August. Sickness prevented him attending to
the hospital for another month, and it was reopened on Oct.
1st. In February, 1838, the Medical Missionary Society was
formed at Canton, when Dr. Parker was elected Vice-presi-
dent, and his hospital taken under its patronage. Shortly
after, his labours there were temporarily interrupted, when he
went to Macao and established a hospital under the auspices
of the Society, the same year, which he attended to from July
5th to October 1st, and then returned to Canton. During
April and May, 1839, when all foreigners at Canton were
confined within the factories, the operations at the hospital
were necessarily suspended, and Dr. Parker merely practised
on a few cases privately. This plan he continued for a time,
after the release of the foreigners, till the numbers becoming
too great for his private apartments, he took possession of the
Canton Dispensary recently vacated by the English physician,
which became rather a general than an opthalmic hospital.
Political troubles increasing at the provincial city in 1840, he
found it necessary to close the establishment, and embarked
for New York in the Niantic, on the 5th of July that year.
While in the United States, it was his aim to advance the
cause of Medical Missions in China, for which purpose he
gave many public addresses, at Washington, Philadelphia,
New York, Boston, and other places ; and sailed for England
on the 17th of April, 1841. After remaining six weeks in
London, he visited successively Cambridge, Birmingham,
Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh, meeting with much
sympathy and encouragement. At the same time, he paid a
brief visit to Paris and returned to America, where he spent
the chief part of the winter in Philadelphia. During his
absence from China, he contracted a matrimonial alliance, and
returned with Mrs. Parker, arriving on October 4th, 1842.
The 5th of following month, they took up their residence at
Canton, and he recommenced his labours in the Opthalmic
Hospital on the 21st of November, devoting a portion of his
time to English preaching. In March, 1844, he was appoint-
PETER PARKER. 83
ed joint Secretary with Dr. Bridgman to the American
Legation, under Caleb Gushing, just arrived in China ; which
formed the Treaty at Wang-hea, on the 3rd of July, between
China and the United States. From the duties of this service
he was temporarily relieved on the departure of the expedition
in the end of August. On the exchange of treaties, at P wan-
tang, near Canton, on the last day of 1845, he was present
as interpreter ; and subsequently acted as Charge d'affaires.
His connection with the American Board ceased in 1847. On
the arrival of the United States Commissioner Mr. Davis in
August, 1848, he resigned his office as Charge d'affaires, and
continued Secretary and Chinese Interpreter to the Legation.
Mr. Davis left China on the 24th of May, 1850, when Dr.
Parker resumed the office of Charge. On the 27th of March,
1853, he arrived at Shanghae with Commissioner Marshall,
in the U. S. steamer Susquehanna. April 2nd, they started
for Nanking, but were prevented by the shallowness of the
water in the Yang-tsze, and returned to Shanghae on the 4th.
On the 29th of April, he left in the Larriston steamer for
Hongkong, which was wrecked at the mouth of the Min river
near midnight on May 2nd ; he ultimately reached Hongkong
in safety however. In 1S54, having come to Shanghae with
the newly arrived American minister, Mr. Maclane, he accom-
panied him to the mouth of the Pih-ho river, where a joint
application was made by the English and American ministers,
to be allowed to discuss treaty matters in the capital. They
remained from the 15th of October, till the 10th of November,
during which period, Dr. Parker and Mr. Medhurst the
English interpreter had repeated interviews with the authori-
ties on shore. In the spring of 1855 ho went to the United
States, and while there, was appointed United States Commis-
sioner, having in the meantime transferred the management
of his hospital to Dr. Kerr. The post of Commissioner he
held till the year 1857, when he left China for his native land,
where he has been since residing.

XXVII. EDWIN STEVENS was born at New Canaan,
Connecticut, U. S. in the year 1802 ; and there received his
early education. In 1824, he entered Yale College, and hav-
ing completed a full course, passed with high honours in
1828. He then spent a year in Aurora, New York, as prin-
cipal of an academy. Near the close of 1829, he returned to
New Haven, and there joined the Theological Seminary. In
1831 and following year he was a tutor in the college, In
April, 1832, he accepted an appointment from the American
Seaman's Friend Society, as their chaplain at the port of
Canton. He was ordained a minister of the gospel at New
Haven, on June 7th ; and on the 29th of the same month
embarked at Philadelphia, for China, in the Morrison, reach-
ing Canton on the 2Gth of October, and began his duties
forthwith, among the seamen at Whampoa. On the 14th of
April, 1835, in company with Mr. Gutzlaff and Mr. Grordon,
he left Lintin in the brig Governor Findlay, on an expedition
to visit the Bohea hills. On the 6th of May, they reached the
mouth of the river Min in Fuh-keen ; up which they proceed-
ed in the ship's boat. Having passed the provincial city,
they had nearly reached the city of Min-tsing on the 5th day,
when being, tired on from both sides of the river, they thought
it prudent to return, and got back to the brig on the 13th,
in which they made their way south to Macao. On the 26th
of August, Mr. Stevens again embarked with Mr. Medhurst,
in the Huron, for a cruise along the coast of China, in order
to discover the facilities for tract distribution. From this
tour they returned to Lintin on the 31st of October. In ac-
cordance with an engagement he entered into before leaving
America, Mr. Stevens connected himself with the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, in March, IS36,
;is a missionary to the Chinese. On the 3rd of December,
he left Macao in company with Mr. Tradescent Lay, in the
Himmaleli, bound on a tour to Borneo, and the adjacent
islands, to ascertain the openings for missionary operations
They reached Singapore on the 15th, but there he was seized
by intermittent fever, under the fatal grasp of which, he fin-
ished his earthly career, January 5th, 1837.
During his limited term of service, Mr. Stevens Wrote a
good deal for the periodical press. Some of his papers wen;
published in America ; and there are several very considerable

XXVIII. 'p Leen. WILLIAM DEAN was born in the
United States in 1807, and in due time ordained to the sacred
office. In the spring- of 1834, he was married to Matilda
Coman ; and being appointed to Siam, in connection with the
American Baptist Board of Foreign Missions, he embarked
with Mrs. Dean at Boston, U. S. in the Cashmere, on July
2nd, accompanied by a large party of missionaries for the
East. On December 5th, they reached Amherst, where they
remained a week ; and then starting with a reduced company,
another week brought them to Penang. After remaining a
few days with the missionaries there, they proceeded on their
voyage, and reached Singapore in four days. There they took
leave of the Cashmere, in order to wait the change of the
monsoon, and there Mrs. Dean died, March 5th, 1835, leaving
an infant daughter. Shortly after his bereavement, Mr. Dean,
accompanied by Mr. Jones of the same Society, having in
their charge George Boardman, a child of six years old, took
a small China boat to go to the Cashmere, several miles out
at sea, and then about to return to America, when they failed
in finding the ship, were attacked by Malay pirates, Mr. Jones
nearly drowned, and Mr. Dean dangerously wounded. Mr.
Dean commenced the study of the Chinese language at Sin-
gapore, and on the change of the monsoon, took passage in an
Arab ship for Bankok. hi December of that year, he organ-
ized a church there, and baptized the first three Chinese
converts. About July, 1837, he was compelled by sickness
to take a voyage, and early in 1838 he visited Macao ; where
he was married to Miss Barker, a lady living in Mr. Gutzlalf's
family, on the 27th of March. Soon after this, they returned
to Bankok and pursued the mission work, till, his health
failing, they sailed for China in 1841, and arrived at Macao
in 1842. -There he left his family while he visited Amoy and
Chusan. In the latter part of October, they removed to
Hongkong, where Mrs. Dean died of small pox on the 29th of
March, 1843. Mr. Dean organized a new Chinese church in
that settlement, on the 28th of May, and planted a new
station for the class of Chinese speaking the Tie-chiu dialect.
At the series of general meetings of missionaries, which took
place that year at Hongkong from August 22nd to September
86 WILLIAM DEAN.
4th, Mr. Dean was always present. At the meeting of August
25th, he was appointed with Dr. Bridgman, to confer on ren-
dering the Greek word Baptizo into Chinese. They gave in
their report at the meeting of September 1st, to the effect
that they were not prepared to recommend any term ; upon
which it was resolved, to proceed in concert with the version,
eaeli party supplying his own term, when the work should be
finished. About the end of 1844, Mr. Dean left Hongkong
for the United States, and returned in October, 1846, in the
Cohota, accompanied by the Rev. Messrs. Clopton, Pearcy
and Jencks, with their wives. In September, 1848, he paid a
short visit to Sharighae, went to Mngpo via Chapoo, and
returned to Hongkong. On the 22nd of February, 18.30. he left
in the U. S. Ship Plymouth, for Cochin-china and Siam, to
act as interpreter to H. E. Joseph Balestier, then on a mission
from the United States government. In 1851, he got the
degree of D. D. from his native country; and*in 1854 went
to America, having previously married a lady who had been
for some time in the Siam mission. The impaired state of his
health, preventing his return to China, he retired from his
connection with the Missionary Society in 1857. Returning
vigour however having warranted his again entering the mis-
sion field, he returned to Hongkong with Mrs. Dean and
family via Panama and California, in November, 1864, when
he took occasion to visit Amoy and Swatow. Early in 1865,
he returned to his old station at Bankok, where he is now

XXIX. HENRY LOCKWOOD, an ordained missionary,
in connection with the Board of Foreign Missions of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church in the United States, left America
in 1835, and arrived at Canton in autumn, from which place
he reached Batavia on the 23rd of December, in company with
the Rev. Mr. Hanson. There he gave himself to the study of
the Chinese language ; and having formed an acquaintance
with the family of Mr. Medhurst, was married to his eldest
daughter Sarah Sophia, on the 17th of February, 1836. From
Mrs. Lockwood he learned the Malay language, and they en-
gaged together in the superintendence of Chinese and Malay
schools, but her brief career was terminated by death on the
9th of August of the same year, Mr. Lockwood retired from
the Chinese mission in 1838. By the latest accounts, he ap-
pears to be now occupied as a missionary, at Pittsibrd New
York.
XXX. FRANCIS R. HANSON, an ordained missionary
connected with the Board of Foreign Missions of the Protes-

with whom he reached Batavia on the 23rd of December.
There he commenced the study of the Chinese lansruao-e on

service however was too limited to admit of his doing much
direct work, as his connection with the mission terminated in
1837. According to the latest information, he is now Rector
at Macon, Alabama.
XXXI. EVAN DAVIE S, ordained to the sacred office,
was pastor of the Congregational church at Great Torrington
in Devonshire. He afterwards left England as a missionary
to the Chinese, in connection with the London Missionary
Society, with Mrs. Davies, in the Duke of Sussex, accompa-
nied by the Rev. S. Wolfe, on the 8th of May, 1835, and
arrived at Penang, September 11th, where he relieved and
succeeded Mr. Dyer. There he gave himself to the various
departments of missionary work among the Chinese, having
made some extensive tours, during the first year of his resi-
dence, over the island, and on the main land of Queda oppo-
site. But his chief efforts were given to the educational
department, having established a hoarding school for Chinese
boys, who, besides the English language, were trained in the
several branches of European instruction. Chiefly on account
of declining health, he went to Singapore in the latter part of
1839 ; there he embarked in September, in the Appoline, and
arrived in London with his wife and children, on the 13th of
February, 1840. He was soon after called to the pastorate
of the Independent chapel at Richmond in Surrey.

became apparent ; and in the autumn of the following year,
he repaired to Penang, with a view to the restoration of his
energies, remaining there from the 23rd of August till the

end of the year, the American ship Himmaleh having arrived
there on a missionary tour among the neighbouring islands,
Mr. Wolfe was induced to take a passage, in her for the bene-
fit of his health. He was accompanied by Mr. Lay the Agent
of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and Mr. Dickinson,
an American missionary from Singapore. They left the
last-named port on January 30th, 1837, reached the island
of Temakeke on the 7th of February, and Macassar on
the 10th, where they remained till March 6th. On the 7th,
they touched at the isle of Bontain, and that of Ternate on
the 25th. About the 23rd of April, they reached Samboanga,
a Spanish settlement on the southern coast of the island of
Mindanao, and there Mr. Wolfe died of pulmonary consump-
tion, on the 27th. He was buried the following day, by per-
mission of the padre, in an old Campo Santo on the west side
of the town. His grave is twelve feet to the west of some
mango trees growing there.

XXXIII. ||[ Shah. JEHU LEWIS SHUCK, a student
of the Virginia Baptist Seminary, now Richmond College,
having been ordained and accepted by the Board of the Bap-
tist Triennial Convention, as a missionary to China, was
married to Henrietta Hall on September 8th, 1835. On the
10th, he and the Rev. R. D. Davenport, with their companions,
were set apart to their work, in the First Baptist Church,
Richmond. The following day the missionary party embarked
for Boston, which they reached on the loth, stopping at Bal-
timore, Philadelphia and New York, on the way. On the
22nd, they embarked in the Louvre, with a large company of
missionaries on board, among whom were the Rev. A. and
Mrs. Reed, for the Chinese. They reached Kedgeree at the
mouth of the Hoogley river, on the 4th of February following.
Having landed some passengers for Calcutta, they set sail
again on the 6th, and anchored at Amherst on the 20th.
After spending a week at Maulmain, Mr. and Mrs. Shuck
resumed their voyage in the Louvre, with a greatly diminished
number of passengers. On the 15th of March, they touched
:it Penarjg, where they remained till the 20th, and reached'
Singapore on the 29th. There Mr. Shuck commenced the
study of the Chinese language, and also gained some know-
ledge of the Malay. In September, they reached Macao, where
they settled, after Mr. Shuck had paid a ten days visit to
('anion. In the latter part of May, 1838, he took a trip to
Hongkong, on account of his health. In November, he visited
JEHU LEWIS SHUCK. 91
Canton; from which he was recalled, on account of his wife's
dangerous illness. The following summer, he paid a short visit
to Hongkong with his family. Hearing of the failure of the
agents of the Missionary Board with which he was connected
in the beginning of 1842, he felt it necessary to seek some
means of temporarily supplying the consequent deficiency ; and
engaged himself for a time, as joint editor of the "Friend of
China" newspaper at Hongkong, where he removed with his
family in March. This did not however prevent him followino-
his missionary pursuits, for, having raised subscriptions in the
foreign community, hebuilt/two chapels in Hongkong, formed
a school, and preached statedly on the Sundays, in Chinese
and English. At the series of general meetings of missionaries
which took place in 1843 at Hongkong, regarding the trans-
lation of the Scriptures, Mr. Shuck was present at all but the
first, on August 22nd. On occasion of the birth of her fourth
son Henrie Fuller, Mrs. Shuck finished her earthly course on
the 27th of November, 1844. Mr. Shuck was under the
necessity of sending his two eldest children to the United
States, early in 184.3. With the others he removed to Can-
ton in the beginning of April, and embarked in the Tonquin
on the 21st of October, for New York. In October 1S4G, he
was married to Lizzie Sexton in Alabama, and having trans-
ferred his connection to the Board of Foreign Missions of the
Southern Baptist Convention, he returned to Hongkong with.
Mrs. Shuck in August, 1847, accompanied by the Revs. Messrs.
Tobey and Yates of the same mission, with their wives.
Thence they removed to Shanghae, as their permanent station
the same year. A committee of delegates for translating the
Old Testament into Chinese having been appointed, in the
summer of 1850, Mr. Shuck was chosen as one of those for
Shanghae. The work of translation was commenced there early
in August, and he continued to attend the meetings of com-
mittee during that and the following year. In November, 185 L
Mrs. Shuck died in giving birth to a child. Not very long after
that, he returned to his native land, where he married a third
wife. In 1854, he received an appointment from the Baptist,
Missionary Board at Richmond, as a mil sionary to the Chinese
at California-, where he remained till about 1859, and even-
tually died in South Carolina in 1 ,8G3.

Baptist camp meeting in Lancaster county ; and on the 2nd of
September was baptized by the Rev. J. B. Jeter, pastor
of the Morattico Baptist church. Having been married to
Mr. Shuck on the 8th of September, 1835, her fortunes weir
closely united with his till the day of her death, assisting him
in his labours, and sympathizing in his joys and sorrows. She

XXXIV. ALANSON REED was born at Cumffiington
in Massachusetts on June 21st, 1807. When about twenty
years of age, he gave his heart to Clod, and from the time of
his conversion, he had strong desires, and a determination, if
possible, to devote his life to the service of Christ among the
heathen. But he was the youngest and favourite child of a
widowed mother, whom he loved witli uncommon ardour, and
she Avas not willing that he should expose himself to the priva-
tions and trials of a missionary's life. On her account, he re-
pressed for a season, his strong desire to enter immediately on
a course of preparation for the work, and waited with the hope
that Providence would make his path plainer. But after two
or three years spent on a farm, he began to feel that his you lb
wras wearing away, and that he must enter without delay on
the path he had chosen. He accordingly commenced study-
ing for the ministry, at Hamilton Theological Seminary, and
snbseopuently spent all the wealth of which he was possessed.
to make comfortable provision for his beloved parent ; but she
died before his studies were completed in 1835. His mind
having been for some time directed towards China, he was or-
dained with a view to that sphere of labour, in connection with
the American Baptist Board of Foreign Missions. On the
22nd of September in the above-named year, he sailed with
his wife from Boston in the Louvre, accompanied by Mr. and
94 ISSACHAB JACOX ROBERTS.
Mrs. Shuck, and a large party of missionaries, reached Ked-
geree "i! February 4th, 1836, Amherst on the 20th, Peuang on
the 15th of March, and Singapore on the 29th; whence
he removed to Bankok in July following. There he made
very encouraging progress with the language during his short
remaining life, but was much interrupted by sickness; and at
length on the 29th of August, 1837, he was cut down in the
prime of life, and found a grave in Siam. He left a widow
and infant son, the latter of whom died shortly after, on the
voyage to America.
XXXV. JAMES T. DICKINSON, an ordained mission-
ary, in connection with the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions, arrived at Singapore in the early part of
1836. There he was engaged in the preparatory department
of the Chinese mission, when the American ship Himmaleh
arrived from China, bound on a missionary tour among the
islands; and the Rev. Mr. Stevens who was in the expedition,
dying at Singapore, Mr. Dickinson was appointed to take his
place. The vessel left that port on the 30th of January, 1837,
and on reaching the island of Temakeke, he was deputed with
Mr. Lay on the 10th of February, to go to Macassar for a
pilot, a^id there they remained till the 6th of March, having
an opportunity in the interim, of distributing a good many
copies of the Scriptures, Chinese and Malay. They touched
at Bon tain, Ternate, Samboanga, — where their fellow pas-
senger Mr. Wolfe found a final resting place, — and at Borneo,
returning to Singapore towards the end of June. There Mr.
Dickinson continued to labour till 1840, when his connection
with the Board came to an end. He was afterwards a teacher
in the Singapore Institution for three years.
There are several contributions from Mr. Dickinson in the
Chinese Repository.

COX ROBERTS was born in Sumner county, Tennessee,
on February 17th, 1802. He was admitted a member of the
Baptist church, in Bedford county, Massachusetts, in 1821.
On January 4th, 1830, he was married, in Georgia, but Mrs.
Roberts died the following year. He was ordained to the
ministry, on April 27th, 1833; and left the United States, as
a missionary for China, about the beginning of 1837, in con-
nection with a special association termed the Roberts Fund
Society, arriving at Macao on the 1st of May. Sometime
afterwards he connected himself with the American Baptist
Board of Foreign Missions, and was the first missionary to

settle in Hongkong,, where he located himself in 1842. At
the series of genera] meetings of missionaries, which were held
there in 1843, regarding the translation of the Scriptures, he
was present at all but the last two, on September 1st and 4th.
During that month, he embarked on a voyage to Chusan,
but being driven back by adverse winds, the vessel put in at
Amoy ; which place he left after a short-stay, on October 9th
in a lorcha, with the Rev. W. M.-Lowrie, for Hongkong, and
reached that port on the 14th. May 15th, 1844, lie took up
his residence in Canton, where he adopted the Chinese cos-
tume, and opened a Chinese chapel. It was while at that
station, in 1847, that Hung Sew-tseuen, afterwards so famous
as the insurgent chief Tae-ping wang, visited him, and re-
mained a few weeks under his instruction; but withdrew with-
out receiving the ordinance of baptism, in consequence of Mr.
Roberts wishing to postpone the rite. On August 21st, that
year, Mr. Roberts relinquished his connection with bis Board,
and joined the Board of Missions of the Southern Baptist
Convention. In the middle of January, 1848, he went to
Macao, and returned to Canton in April. In February, 1849,
he left for a visit to his native land, where he was married,
embarked again with Mrs. Roberts in April, 1850, and arrived
at Canton, August 12th. On October 8th, 1851, his connec-
tion with the Baptist Board ceased. During a visit to Hong-
kong in September, 1852, he learned from the Rev. Mr.
Hamberg, that the latter had been recently visited by a native
from the interior, who had left some important documents in
his possession. On examining these, Mr. Roberts discovered,
that Hung Sew-tseuen his former disciple, had become the
head of a great religious and revolutionary movement in the
West of China, all which he detailed at length in a letter to
the Chinese and General Missionary Gleaner, dated October
6th, 1852. The native from the interior was Hung Jin, after-
wards distinguished as the Kan-wang or Shield King, the
second in power at Nanking. A few days after the capture
of Nanking by the insurgents, a messenger appeared in Can-
ton, purporting to be from Nanking, with a letter addressed
to Mr. Roberts, inviting him to come to that capital, and
bring a number of brethren with him, to help to propagate
the gospel. This reached Mr. Roberts on May 11th, 1853,
and he left Canton accordingly on July 5th. embarked at
Hongkong on the 13th, taking with him the second son of
Fung Yun-san, the Southern King, and his cousin A-shn,
and reached Shanghae on the 30th. From various retarding
causes, however, the difficulty of getting to Nanking from
that city being the principal one, he was obliged to dd'rv his
project; and after remaining there fifteen months, he Left for
the United States. He returned to China via San Francisco
96 IS8ACHAB JACOX ROBERT;-.
and Panama, arriving at Canton in the beginning of 1856,
unconnected with any society, the necessary funds being raised
by voluntary contributions. On the outbreak of the troubles
in the end of 1856, In; was obliged to leave with the other
foreigners, and wont to reside for a time at Hongkong, return-
ing to his old station at Canton about the end of 1858. In
the latter part of 1860 the way seemed to be opening up, the
insurgents having captured Soo-chow and the principal cities
between that and Nanking; when Mr. Roberts again arrived
in Shanghae about the beginning of September, and made his
way up to Soo-chow by about the middle of the month. There
he was introduced on the 22nd to Cliung-wang, or the Faith-
ful King, the Commander in chief of that place, who treated
him with much friendship, and sent an escort with him to
Nanking. Leaving Soo-chow on October 4th, they reached
the capital on the 13th. There Mr. Roberts was well received,
had apartments assigned him, and was invested by the Prince
as Minister for Foreign Affairs, which honour Mr. Roberts
declined. After remaining there however, more than fifteen
months, he left them on the 20th of January, 1862, thorough-
ly disgusted with their proceedings, returned to Shanghae and
thence to Canton. The following year he again paid a visit
to Shanghae and Soo-chow, while the latter city was still in
the hands of the insurgents. After that he returned to Can-
ton, where he now remains occupied with his missionary
pursuits.

ary to the Chinese, in connection with the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and reached Batavia in
September. There he remained for a time and learned the Full-
keen Chinese dialect. In the autumn of 1838 he was at Singa-
pore, where he embarked on October 15th, in company with the
Rev. W. J. Pohlman, in a native schooner for Sambas in
Borneo, in order to make an exploratory missionary tour. They
reached that port on the 30th, and after a wearisome journey
across the country, arrived at Pontianak late on the 24th of
November. There, learning that a vessel was just about start-
98 ELIIIU DOTY.
mg for Singapore, they took passage and sailed on the 27th.
'The following year he returned to Pontianak, and took up his
residence, with the intention of establishing a Christian school
and mission, for which he had obtained thesanction of the Dutch
government. In the summer of 1844 he removed to Amoy,
where he arrived on the 22nd of June; and there Mrs. Doty
died on October 5th, 1845, leaving two daughters. With these
Mr. Doty left Amoy November 12th, embarked at Hongkong
towards the end of the year, and arrived in the United States
in the early part of 1845. While in his' native land, he mar-
ried a second time, and returned to Amoy with Mrs. Doty in
August, 1847. But in little more than ten years he was again
a widower; for his wife died on February 28th, 1858. The
same year, he seems to have dissolved his connection with the
American Board, and become an agent of the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Dutch Reformed Church in the United States.
Having visited his native land shortly after, he returned to
China with the Rev. E. S. Maclay about the year 1861, and
again settled at Amoy. Length of service however had so
exhausted his system, that he found it necessary to retire again
about the end of 1864, when he left Amoy and embarked at
Hongkong soon after for America ; but died on the voyage five
days before reaching New York.

WILLIAM JONES BOONE. 99
XL. ELBERT NEVIUS, an ordained minister of the
Dutch Reformed Church in the United States, left New York
with Mrs. Nevius, in the beginning of June, 1836, as a mis-
sionary to the Chinese, in connection with the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, accompanied by
Mr. Doty and other missionaries. They reached Batavia in
September, where he remained for a time, studying the Chinese
language. He was afterwards associated with Mr. Doty in
Borneo, which place he was obliged to leave, on account of his
health in 1843. He tried the effect of a visit to Macao, and
afterwards went to the Neilgherry hills, but all proving in-
sufficient to reinvigorate him, he returned to the United Stales
in 1845. Since his return, he has had the pastoral charge of
a congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church, in the eastern
part of the state of New York.
XLI. # Wan. WILLIAM JONES BOONE was con-
verted to the truth, while a law student at Charleston in South
Carolina, during a season of revival in the winter of 1833-4,
being then about twenty owe years of age ; soon after which
he removed to Philadelphia. At the first meeting of the
newly-organized Board of Foreign Missions of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in 1835, a mission to China was deter-
mined on, and his mind was immediately drawn to this open-
ing as a field of duty for himself. He was about concluding
his seminary course at Alexandria, and having offered himself,
was accepted by the Foreign Committee for the Chinese mis-
sion. To prepare himself for this sphere, he commenced the
study of medicine, and graduated as M. D. He was married
to Sarah Amelia De Saussure of South Carolina, and being
ordained to the ministry of the gospel, left the United
States with Mrs. Boone in 1836. They reached Batavia in the
early part of 1837, and settled there for a time, where he com-
menced his missionary labours among the Chinese. In 1840, he
left Java on account of his health, and took up his residence at
Macao in November. There he and Mrs. Boone, together with
the Rev. W. C. Milne rendered important service, in conducting
the school of the Morrison Education Society, during the.
absence of Mr. Brown, from April 1st to September 10th,
1841. In company with Mr. Abeel, he left Macao on the
2nd of February, 1842, in a lorcha for Hongkong, from which
place they sailed in the Australian Packet on the 7th, and
reached the island of Koo-lang sen by Amoy, on the 24th. On
the 10th of April, Mr. Boone left to return to Macao, for the
purpose of removing his family to Amoy; on June 7 th, and
arrived with Mrs. Boone and their two children at, Koo-lang
sen, aecompaiiied by Mr. and Mrs. MacBryde and Dr. Cum-

ming. On the 20th of August, Mrs. Boone was attacked with
the prevailing fever, and died on the 30th. On February
10th, 1843, Mr. Boone left with lus children for Macao,
and sailed from that place on March 1st, 1843, for the
United States. While in his native land, he received the
degree of D. I)., and was consecrated Missionary Bishop for
China in 1844; he married a second time, and embarking with
Mrs. Boone on the 14th of December, reached Hongkong on
the 24th of April, 1845, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Wood,
Mr. and Mrs. Graham, and three single ladies for the same
mission. On the 24th of May he and Mrs. Boone embarked
in the Alligator for Shanghae, accompanied by Misses Jones
and Morse, and the Rev. G. Smith, and reached their destina-
tion on June lGth. When the Committee of Delegates were
appointed to meet in Shanghae, for the translation of the
New Testament, he was chosen, together with Dr. Medhurst,
to represent Shanghae. The Committee met on July 1st,
1847, at the house of Dr. Medhurst, but on the 5th, Drs.
Boone and Bridgman brought forward an objection against,
the term used for the name of God, in the copy prepared by
one of the local committees. Tins gave rise to a controversy,
in which the Bishop took a most prominent part, and which
reached no unanimous result. Ill health prevented him
attending the committee after the first few days, till the con-
clusion of its labours in July, 1850. He was again elected a
delegate for Shanghae, in the Committee which met for the
translation of the Old Testament in August of that year, and
continued till the 12th of February, 1851, when consequent
upon some changes in the committee the Bishop, in concert
with other missionaries, commenced a new translation. On the
31st of January, 1852, Mrs. Boone left for New York on ac-
count of her health, and he followed her the same year. They
returned to Shanghae with their two children, by the Gravina,
accompanied by Mr. J. T. Points of the same mission, arriving
at that station, April 13th, 1854. On account of failing
health, he took his family to the United States in 1857, and
embarked at New York on his return, with a large party of
new missionaries, on July 13th, 1859, arriving at Shanghae
on December 22nd. When the Rev. J. Sobson, British Chap-
lain at Shanghae died, in April, 18o'2, Bishop Boone supplied
his place in the pulpit for the chief part, till the following
spring. In April, 1863, he left with Mrs. Boone on account
of her health, staid for a short time at Macao, and returned
to Shanghae in June. Shortly after that Mrs. Boone tried
the effect of a visit to Japan, and the Bishop went over to
fetch her in October. These means proving insufficient to the
desired result, they left to proceed to Europe by the mail
packet from Shanghae on November 9th. After staying a

month on the way at Singapore, they continued the voyage
as far as Suez, where Mrs. Boone died on January 20th, 1864.
The Bishop then proceeded to England, visited Germany, where
he left his son at school, and returnd to Shanghae on the- 13th
of June, exceedingly reduced with dysentery. Ee died <m
July 17th, and was buried in the Shanghae cemetery.

was able to open a chapel for public preaching on the 1st of

till the 12th of February, 1851. He then withdrew from
that committee, and continued the work in concert with Dr.
Medhurst and the Rev. W.C.Milne, under the auspices of the
London Missionary Society, till the whole was completed in the

at West Boylston, Massachusetts, June 3rd, 1796. In his early
years, his father removed with his family to Shutesbury ; and
during his minority, Dyer was engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. Under the patronage of the American Education
Society, he commenced his classical studies at Phillips' Aca-
demy, Andover, in 1822, where he spent two years ; and
another year was passed in two academic schools in the vici-
nity of Amherst College. After this he continued his collegiate
studies at Yale College, and attended lectures in New Haven
Theological School. The latter part of his course however
was interrupted by ill health, which made it advisable for
him to spend the winter months at the South. In 1827, he
was married to Lucy Mills of New Haven. In 1828, he gra
duated as A. B. at Union College; and the same year he was
licensed to preach, by an association of clergymen in Con-
necticut. Soon after this he went to St. Augustine in Flo-

missionary to the Chinese, by the American Board of Com-
missioners, he left for New York, expecting then to embark
for Singapore. The state of the Society's finances however
occasioned some delay, and he spent the following winter
among friends in the north; at the same time supplying two
pulpits, which happened to be vacant. Having obtained the
loan of De Guigne's Chinese Latin and French Dictionary
from Vale College Mrs. Ball copied out the Chinese charac-
ters, and the Dr. translated the Latin and French into English;
a work which occupied them about three or four months. In
May, 1838, they embarked at New York in the Albion, and

employed for a time in preaching, printing tracts, and atten-
ding to the sick; while Mrs. Bail instructed a school of Chinese

cine to the sick, and conducting religious services with the
natives. At the series of general meetings of missionaries
held at Hongkong, regarding the translation of the Scriptures,
he was present on three occasions, August 22nd, 24th and
25th. Mrs. Ball cooperated with him in his efforts, till a few
days before her death, which took place there on June 6th,
1844. Her two little boys soon followed her to the grave.
In June, IS45, Dr. Ball paid a temporary visit to Canton,
and on the 29th of August, removed there with his family,

and other missionaries. Mrs. Wood died the same year at
Singapore; and he retired from connection with the Chinese
Mission, returning- to America in 1840. He was afterwards
married a second time, and joined the Armenian mission un-
der the same board, being stationed at Bebek by Constanti-
nople. He was obliged however to go to the United States
in 1851, on account of his wife's health, and in 1853, Ins
connection with that Mission appears to have ceased. Since
that time he has received the degree of D. 1). and is now-
Home Secretary to the American Board in New York.
We do not hear of any publications by Dr. Wood, but in
the Report of the mission for 1848. the comjtnittee complain
of being unable to print a Book on Theology by him, for want
of funds.
XLIX. WILLIAM JOHN POHLMAN, an ordained
minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in the United States,
was married to Theodosia R. Scudder, the sister of Dr.
Scudder the missionary to India. He left New York with
Mis. Pohlman, accompanied by Dr. Ball and Mr. Wood, and
arrived at Singapore in 1838, having been appointed a mis-
sionary to the Chinese, in connection with the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. On the 15th of
October in the same year, he took passage in a native schooner
with Mr. Doty, for Sambas in Borneo, where they arrived on
the 30th; thence they made their way overland to Pontianak,
which they reached on the 24th of November, and embarked
there on the 27th to return to Singapore. After a temporary
residence at the latter settlement, he removed with his family
to Pontianak, where lie spent some years among the Chinese
population, making occasional excursions into the interior.
In 1844, he went with Mr. Doty toAmoy, where they arrived
with their families on June 22nd. On the 30th of September
Mrs. Pohlman entered into her rest, leaving three children,
one an infant daughter of nine days. In November, 1845, he
made an excursion to Chang-chow city, with Mr. Hedde, one
of the French commercial delegates. In the summer of 1 846,
he found it necessary to go to Canton for two or three months
for medical aid, and returned to Anioy in September. In
April, 1848, his sister arrived at Amoyto stay with him. and
in December he left Amoy to accompany her to Hongkong for
the benefit of her health ; intending to remain there only a few
days, and then return to assist in dedicating the church lately
built by the mission. He embarked at Hongkong on board
the Omega, on January 2nd ; on the 5th the vessel was wrecked
on Breaker Point, and Mr. Pohlman was drowned by the cap-
sizing of the boat, in which a party were attempting to land.
112 WILLIAM LOCKHABT. ^
There are several contributions by Mr. Pohlman, in fche 15th,
jLO'th and I7l.li volumes of the Chinese Repository.
L. ftf i| $ Ld Wei Un. WILLIAM LOCKHART was
•bom at Liverpool, October 3, 1811. In early life, having at-
tended the medical courses at Meath Hospital in Dublin, and
Guy's Hospital in Loudon, he passed his examinations at
Apothecaries' Hall in 1833, and graduated as M. R. C. IS.
1834. After that he was appointed House Surgeon to the Dis-
pensary at Liverpool; and subsequently became assistant to
a practitioner near that city. Having been appointed medical
missionary to the Chinese, by the London Missionary Society,
he left Gravesend in company with Mr. Medhurst and family
in the George the Fourth, July 31st, 1838, and arrived at
Batavia about the middle of November. Towards the close of
January 183(J. he, reached Canton, and having offered his ser-
vices to the Medical Missionary Society, was appointed to the
charge of their hospital at Macao, which was first opened by
Dr. Parker, during three months of the previous summer.
After nearly six weeks spent at Canton studying the language,
lie vent to Macao on a visit on February 28th, but while
there, political complications arose which prevented his return-
ing, and he commenced operations in the hospital on July 1st;
which were discontinued on the 21st of August, in consequence
of the departure of British residents from that settlement. In
prospect of the protracted interruption of friendly intercourse
between the British and Chinese, he left the country on the
7th of September for Batavia,, where he continued the study
of the language under Mr. Medhurst, In May, 1840, he re-
turned to Macao and reopened the hospital on August 1st.
Shortly before this time, Drs. Hobson and Diver had arrived,
and the hospital at Macao being placed under their charge,
Mr. Lockhart proceeded at the end of August to the city of
Ting-hae in the island of Chusan, then occupied by the English
troops, where he opened a hospital for the benefit of the na-
tives, from September 13th, 1840, till February 22nd, 1841.
In consequence of the evacuation of Chusan by the British
government, he left the island on the 24th of February and
arrived at Macao on the Ib'th of the following month ; where
he was soon after married to Catherine Parkes. When
the treaty of Nanking was settled in 1842, he went to Hong-
kong, where he was detained till the spring of 1843, superin-
tending in the interval the building of the Medical Missionary
Society's hospital in that colony. He arrived at Chusan on
the 13th of June, and after a few days, leaving Mrs. Lockhart
there, accompanied the Rev. W. C. Milne to Ningpo, and re-
mained till July7th; when the latter started on his journey

through the interior to Canton, and Mr. Lockbart returned to
Cliusan, where lie again opened a hospital. On the 8th of
November, he went up to Shanghae for a visit, returning to
Chusan on the 20th. He again left the island in company
with Dr. Medhurst, who visited Chusan on his way up from
Hongkong ; and after a short trip to Ningpo, arrived at Shano--
hae about the middle of December. Returning temporarily
to Ting-hae, he closed the hospital in the middle of January,
1844, and taking Mrs. Lockhart with him to Shanghae, com-
menced another there about the middle of February. In 1846,
he opened a new and commodious building, by subscriptions
raised chiefly on the spot, where he continued to prosecute his
benevolent labours, during the subsequent years of his resi-
dence in Sbangbae. On March 8th, 1848, he was exposed
to a murderous attack by a party of junk men at Tsing-poo
thirty miles from Shanghae, and narrowly escaped with his
life. In consequence of ill health, Mrs. Lockhart returned to
England, with her children in 1852. where they arrived on the
1st of May. In the beginning of December, 1857, Mr. Lock-
bart left Shanghae for his native land, and proceeding via
Egypt and Paris, reached England on the 29th of January,
1858. AVhile there he was made F. R. C. S. of London. He
remained till the beginning of June, 1861, and then returned
to China by the Egypt route, reaching Hongkong on the 22nd
of July, and Shanghae on August 9th; which place he left for
Teen-tsin on the 30th in the steamer Fei-loong, and arrived at
Peking in September. There he established a hospital, com-
menced a mission station, and remained till the spring of
1864, when he went south to Shanghae, made a hasty visit to
Hankow in April, returned to Shanghae, took a trip over to
Japan in May, visited Yokohama and Yedo, and again return-
ing to Shanghae in the beginning of June, embarked by the
first mail packet for Europe on the 6th of that month, reach-
ing England August I4th ; where he has since been actively
engaged advocating the cause of Chinese missions.

October 27th, 1813. In 1826 he became imbued with the
Christian's hope, and in May, 1831, he was admitted a member
of the Baptist communion by immersion, in connection
with the clmrch of which his father was the pastor. He

the same year, he sailed for the East with Mrs. Goddard, as a
missionary to the Chinese, under the American Baptist Board
of Foreign Missions, and landed at Singapore in June, 1839.
After a short stay there, he proceeded to Bankok his destined
station, where he landed October 16th, 1840. In 1842, he
succeeded Mr. Dean as pastor of the first Chinese church
there. In 1848, after a severe bleeding ofthe lungs which
threatened his life, he so far recovered as to be able to remove
with his family northward to Shanghae, and thence after a
short sta}r proceeded to Ningpo, where, in a cooler climate,
he conld carry forward his work among the Chinese. There
on September 4th, 1854, he finished his mortal career, leaving
a widow and several children to lament his loss. Mrs. God-
dard returned to the United States, and died at Providence,

LV. Kg $| & Le Ya-lco. JAMES LEGGE, the son of
Ebenezer Legge, and youngest of a family of seven, was born
at Huntly, Aberdeenshire, in 1815. His father held a pro-
minent position there as a tradesman, and influential member
of the church of the Rev. George Cowie, well known for bis
independent principles and action; and there James Legge
received his early education. He passed through a course of
study, and graduated as A. M. at King's College, Aberdeen.
Having joined the Christian church, in connection with the
Congregational body, he entered for a time as student at
Highbury College, London. Appointed by the London Mis-
sionary Society, to the Chinese mission at Malacca, he was
ordained at Trevor Chapel, Brompton, on the 25th of April,
1839; and on the 30th was married to Mary Isabella, the

daughter of the Rev. John Morison, pus tor of the same chapel
July 28th, he embarked with Mrs. Legge, in the Eliza Stewart,
accompanied by the Rev. W. G. Milne and Dr. Hobson; ar-
rived at Batavia, the L9th of November, whence he proceeded
to Singapore about the end of December \ and reached Malacca,
liis appointed station, on the 10th of January. 1840. The
same year, he succeeded Mr. Evans as Principal of tlie Anglo-
Chinese College. July 14th. 1841. the council of the Univer-
sity of New York conferred on him by unanimous vote, the
degree of D. D. It having been determined to remove the
Anglo-Chinese College to the newly-racquired colony of Hong-
kong, he left Malacca on the 6th of May, 1843, for Singapore,
and thence proceeding to Macao, arrived at Hongkong on
July LOth, where he attended the conference of missionaries
of the London Society, which took place the following month.
By the recommendation of the committee, the Anglo-Chinese
College was converted into a Theological Seminary, principally
t'o; tin- purpose of training a native ministry for China; and
the institution was carried on at Hong-kong, under the su-
perintendence of Dr. Legge. At the series of general meetings
of Protestant missionaries, regarding the translation of the
Scriptures, he was only absent from that of August 28th;
and was appointed in conjunction with Dr. Medhurst, to
deliberate on the rendering of the names of the Deity into
Chinese. Compelled by ill health to leave Ids station for
a season, he embarked with his family and three Chinese
youths, in the Duke of Portland, on the 19th of November,
184.;, and arrived in London on the 28th of March following.
During his residence in England, the three youths were ad-
mitted into the Christian church, by the ordinance of baptism,
at Huntly. On the Pith of April, 1848, he again embarked
in the Ferozepore with his family and a large missionary par-
ty, and arrived at Hongkong on July 22nd; where he continued
to conduct the Theological Seminary, in addition to other
mission duties. Mrs. Legge, who. had been assiduous in
school work during her residence at that station, died there
on October 17th. 18,32. In the beginning of 1858, Dr. Legge
again left Hongkong for a visit to England, where he arrived
June 3rd. During his stay, he married a second time, and
embarked with his family in the Dora, on the 13th of June,
1859, accompained by the Rev. F. S. Turner, reaching Hong-
kong on September 21st. There, with the exception of
occasional visits to the main land from time to time, he
has continued devoted to the mission work ; having, in ad-
dition to his various labours among the natives, sustained
acceptably for many years, the pastorate of an English
congregation. In the latter part of July 1865, having pre-
viously sent his family for a change, he left for the north,

LVT. H£fi^J/W Wel-ch'ii. WILLIAM CHARLES
MILNE, the son of Dr. Milne (see III. supra), was one of
twins horn at sea, April 22nd, 181"), five days after his
parents had left Canton on a voyage to Malacca, which they
reached on the 22nd of May. His first visit to China was at
the early age of two years, when his parents landed there for
a temporary sojourn on September 3rd, 1817. returning to
Malacca on the 17th of February following. He was scarcely
four years old when he lost his mother, and was soon after
placed under the training of Mrs. Thompson at Malacca; but
on the death of his father in the summer of 1822. he was re-
moved to England. Having received his early education in
the neighbourhood of his lather's birth-place, and passed his
theological studies at Marisehal College, Aberdeen, where lie
graduated as A. M. lie was accepted by the London Mission-
ary Society, and appointed to China. On the 19th of July,
1839, he was ordained to the office of a missionary, in Wycliffe
Chapel; and on the 28th of the same month, sailed in the
Eliza Stewart, accompanied by Mr. Legge and Dr. Hobson,
arriving at Macao on the 18th of December. Then1 he took
up his residence for a time with Mr. Bridgman at the hospi-
tal. Subsequently he removed to the house of the Morrison
Education Society, to assist in the work of the Institution.
Eaily in 1841, he went, with a party of missionary friends to
the island of Hongkong, after its cession to the British Crown,
to ascertain its eligibility for a centre of missionary operations.
During the absence of Mr. Brown the Superintendent of the
Morrison Education Society, from April 1st to September
10th, 1841, in conjunction with Mr. Boone, he took the entire
charge Of the school and library. In February, 1842, he
proceeded to Ting-hae on the island of Chusan, where, after
visiting- the neighbouring cities of Chin-hae and Ningpo, he
WILLIAM CUAULES MILNE. 123
made his temporary abode. On the 7th of December he a-
gain went over to Ningpo, where he remained till the end of
the year, returned for the first week in January. 1843. to
Chusan, and again repaired to Ningpo. About the middle
of June, hearing that Mr. Lockhart was at Chusan, he went
over there and remained a few days, when both returned to
Ningpo together. On the 7th of July, he started on a some-
what hazardous journey of about 1300 miles through the in-
terior to Canton, which he reached in safety on the 12th of
August. In two days more, he was at Hongkong, in time to
attend the conference of the missionaries of his society at
that station. At the series of general meetings of mission-
aries, regarding the translation of the Scriptures, he was pre-
sent at all except those on August, 24th, September 1st, and
4th. At the meeting of August 25th, he was appointed with
Messrs. Medhurst and J. 11. Morrison, a committee to consult on
the rendering of Scripture names. On the 2nd of October, he
embarked with Mr. Medhurst in the Urgent, bound for the
north, but encountering a severe storm, after being out near-
ly three weeks, they had to seek shelter at Manilla. Return-
ing to Macao, he embarked in the Duke of Northumberland
with hi.s Chinese teacher, and arrived in England, July 26th
I S44. While there, he was married to Frances Williamina the
daughter of Dr. Beaumont, the Wesleyan minister. On the
10th of April, 1846. he embarked with Mis. Milne in the Mary
Bannatyne, accompanied by the Rev. J. F. and Mrs. Cleland;
and arrived at Hongkong on the 25th of August, reaching'
Shanghae on the 26th of November. The Rev. W. M. Lowrie,
delegate for the Ningpo station in the Translation Committee
at Shanghae, having been drowned in the autumn of that
year, Mr. Milne was elected to supply his place, and took his
seat at the resumption of the meetings, on the 5th of January,
184S. The committee having completed the translation of
the New Testament in July, 1850, he was reelected to till the
same post in the translation of the Old Testament, which was
commenced forthwith, and carried on by the delegates as far
as the middle of Leviticus, when a change took place in the
committee on, the 12th of February, 1861. After that Mr.
Milne continued in concert with Dr. Medhurst and Mr.
Stronach, proceeding to the completion of the Old Testament,
which was accomplished at the close of 1852. Sanatory con-
siderations induced him to leave China with his family in the
beginning of 1854, intending to return to Europe by the Cape
of Good Hope; but altering his resolution at sea, he joined
the mail packet at Singapore, and reached England on April
4th. His connection with the missionary service ceased in
1856, and in 1858 he returned to China with the appointment
of Interpreter in the Consular service at Fnh-chow. There
124 WILLIAM CIIAKLE3 MIL.
he remained till the establishment of the British Legation at
Peking, in 1861, when he removed to the capital in October,
and occupied the post of Teacher to the Student Interpreters
in the British civil service. On the 15th of May, 1863, he
died of apoplexy, and his mortal remains are deposited by
the side of the four recent victims of Chinese cruelty, in the
unconsecrated portion of the Russian cemetery, outside the
North gate of Peking.

cal student, who graduated as M. B. at the London Univer-
sity, and passed his examination as M. R. C. IS. in London,
was accepted by the London Missionary Society, as Medical
missionary for China. He was married to Jane Abbey, and
embarked with Mrs. Hobson in the Eliza Stewart, accompanied
by Messrs Legge and Milne, on the 28th of July, 1831) ;
reached Angier on the 12th of November, and arrived at
Macao on December 18th, where he found a location with Mr.
Bridgman, then residing in the hospital. Soon after, he
offered his services and was accepted by the Medical Mission-
ary Society. When their hospital was reopened by Mr. Loek-
harton the 1st of August, 1840, he was assisted by Dr. Hobson
in the duties ; and on the departure of the former fir Chusan
at the end of the month, the hospital was placed under the
joint charge of Drs. Hobson and Diver ; but the latter being-
compelled by failure of health, to leave soon after, it was
subsequently under the sole management of Dr. Hobson. In
the early part of 1843, he removed to Hongkong, to take-
charge of the Medical Missionary Society's hospital there,
which he opened for the reception of patients on the 1st of
June. There he was present at the conference of the mission-
aries of the London Society in August ; and at the series of
general meetings of Protestant missionaries, regarding the
translation of the Scriptures, he Avas present at all except
those of August 28th and September 4th. In 1845, the health
of Mrs. Hobson having failed to such an extent, a return to
Europe seemed imperative, and he left Hongkong with her in
July; but she died within sight of her native land on Decem-
ber 22nd, when anchored oft' Dungeness, leaving a son and
daughter under the care of her widowed husband. During
his stay in England, Dr. Hobson was married to the daugh-
ter of Dr. Morrison the missionary to China, and embark-
ed with Mrs. Hobson in the Hugh Walker, accompanied
by Mr. Hirschberg, on March 11th, 1847, reaching Hongkong

pital. In OctoLor he made a visit with Mr. Gillespie to Can-
ton, and the following- February took up his residence and
commenced operations there. In April he opened a dispensary,
and in June took possession of the house, and initiated the
complete work of the Missionary Hospital at Kum-le-fow in
the western suburb. Towards the close of the year 1854, he
repaired to Shanghae for the benefit of his health, and after
an absence of five weeks, returned to his labours greatly re-
cruited. On the outbreak of hostilities in Canton, in October
1S56, he was compelled to vacate the spot, and sought a tem-
porary asylum for his family at Hongkong. At the instance
of his brethren An Shanghae, he repaired to that station in
February, 1857, and when Mr. Lockhart took his departure
for England at the close of the year, Dr. Hobson took his
place in the mission Hospital. Early in 1859, he left Shang-
hae, with all his family except his eldest son, who remained
in a mercantile house at that settlement. Proceeding via
Hongkong in the mail packets, he reached England in March ;
since which time, his health not admitting of his return to
China, he resided for a time at Clifton, and has more recently
taken up his abode at Cheltenham.

LVIII. THOMAS L. MACBRYDE, was ordained to
the ministry of the gospel, and went to Singapore with
Mrs. MacBryde in 1840, under the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of the Presbyterian Church of the United States. From
that port, he sailed with Mr. Abeel on the 18th of Septem-
ber, 1841, on a voyage to Borneo, and returned October 30th.
Early in December he went to Macao on account of his health;
but left for Hongkong on June 1st, and thence removed
to Koo-lang seu, where he arrived with Mrs. MacBryde and
infant child on the 7th of June, accompanied by Mr. Boone
and family, and Dr. dimming. Compelled by failure of
health, he left that station on January 13th, 1843, and went
to Macao; from which he sailed for the United States early
in July, in the Morrison, and arrived at New York on the
20th of October. He then retired from .the missionary service.

14th, and ultimately reached his destination on November
25th. In the later part of the following January, he opened
a hospital in the town of Amoy. The failure of Mrs. Hep-
burn's health however, rendered a change necessary, and to-
wards the end of the year, they visited Macao on that account,
returning to Amoy with the Rev. J. Lloyd on December 6th.
But this proving insufficient, they again left Amoy for the
south on June 28th, 1845, and embarked for the United
States. After that Dr. Hepburn commenced practice as a
physician in New York, and acquired an extensive connection,
which he sustained for a number of years till the recent
openings in Japan, when he again made his way to the East
as a medical missionary to the Japanese, under the same board
as before. He reached Shanghae with Mrs. Hepburn in 1859,
and thence proceeded to Kanagawa in Japan. In September
and October, I860, he paid a visit to Hakodadi; but returned
to his station at Kanagawa, where he has been since residing.
LX. WILLIAM HENRY GUMMING, from Georgia,
United States, graduated as M. D. in his native land, and
went to China in the capacity of medical missionary in 1842,
unconnected with any society. He arrived at Macao in the
earlier part of the year, and left for Hongkong on June 1st,
with the Revs. Messrs. Boone, MacBryde and W. M. Lowrie.
Thence he proceeded with Messrs. Boone and MacBryde to
Koo-lang seu, where he arrived on the 7th, and opened a dis-
pensary in the house of Mr. Abeel. There he was joined by
Dr. Hepburn in November, 1843, and in the latter part of
the following January, they opened a hospital in the town of
Amoy, where Dr. Gumming took up his residence. Dr. Hep-
burn having left in June, 1845, the hospital was placed in
the entire charge of his colleague, under the auspices of the
Medical Missionary Society. In 1S47, owing to failure of
health, he was constrained to leave for A merica, and embarked
at Macao in the Horatio, on the 17th of Mareh, 1847. Con-
tinued indisposition prevented his return to China.
LXI. fg J£ p Leu-U Hwa. WALTER MACON
LOWRIE, the third son of Walter and Amelia Lowrie, was
bom in Butler, Pennsylvania, on the 18th of February, 1811).
The first steps in his education were superintended by his
mother; and at an early period he was sent to school, where
130 WALTER MACON LOWRIE.
he learned the usual branches of a common English training-.
In his tenth year, his father having been elected to the United
States Senate, removed to Washington city with his family;
and for a part of the year instructed Walter in the higher
rules of arithmetic, in geography, and ancient and modern
history. In his eleventh and twelfth years, he spent two
terms in a classical grammar school. In November 1832, he
entered the preparatory department of Jefferson College at
Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, and at tha same time found a
home in the family of the Rev. Professor Kennedy. He
joined the freshmen class in October. 1833. In August, 1834,
he was at his parental home, made one of a family party to
the Falls of Niagara, and returned with them to Washing-
ton. In November he resumed his studies at college; soon
after which, his attention was first permanently fixed upon
the concerns of religion; and he was led to the decision of
devoting his life to the missionary cause. On leaving college
in 1837, he spent the winter at his father's house in New
York, and in May, 1838, he entered the Theological Seminary
at Princeton, New Jersey. There he spent the usual term
of three years, during the last of which his mind was settled
on Western Africa as his field of labour. In 1840, he was
received as a missionary of the Board of Foreign Missions of
the Presbyterian Church, to be sent to Western Africa; but
afterwards in view of the exigencies of the China mission, the
executive committee proposed to him a change of destination,
to which he, after much hesitation consented. On the 5th of
April, 1841, he was licensed to preach the gospel; and on the
9th of November, was ordained an evangelist. On the 19th
of January, 1842, he sailed for China in the ship Huntress,
and landed at Macao on the 27th of May. On June 1st, he
accompanied Messrs. MacBryde and Boone and Dr. dimming
to Hons-kon^. Having; received instructions to proceed to
Singapore, to assist in removing the mission of the Board
from that place to some point on the coast of China, he left Ma-
cao on the 18th of June in the Sea Queen, and after a tedious
voyage, the ship was obliged to put in at Manilla, where they
arrived, August 23rd. On the 18th of September he again
set sail for Singapore in the Harmony, which on the 25th
struck a hidden rock. After live days sailing in an open
boat with part of the ship's company, he reached the island
of Luban, where he remained tor two days, and left in a na-
tive schooner, October 2nd, for Manilla, arriving there the
following day. He then abandoned his purpose of visiting
Singapore, and embarked in the Diana, on the 10th, by which
he reached Hongkong on the 17th, and thence proceeded to
Macao. Being in Hongkong at the time, he attended one of
the series of general meetings of Protestant missionaries re-
WALTER MACON LOWRIE. 131
garding the translation of the Scriptures, held on August 28th,
1843. With the intention of visiting all the newly-opened
ports, he left that colony on the 31st; but in consequence of
stormy weather, the vessel put in at Amoyon September 5th.
Thence he started with Mr. Abeel on October 3rd, for a jour-
ney to Chang-chow in the interior, from which, they returned
to Koo-lang seu on the Gth. He left with Mr. Eoberts in a
lorcha on the 9th, for Hongkong, where he arrived on the
1 4th, and a few days later at Macao. January 21st, 1845,
he left Macao for Hongkong, and there embarked for the north
on the 1 7th of February in the Rob Roy, which anchored at
Woo-sung in the vicinity of Shanghae on March 11th. Leav-
ing Shanghae on the 29th, he reached Chusan, April 1st,
proceeding thence to Ningpo on the 11th, where he took up
his residence. Much of his time, especially at the commence-
ment of his residence at Ningpo, was spent in itinerating
through the neighbouring country with some of the brethren.
Having been elected to represent Ningpo, in the Committee
of Delegates for the translation of the New Testament, he
arrived in Shanghae for that purpose, early in June, 1847.
While there engaged in the work, circumstances called him
to visit Ningpo; and lie left Shanghae by the inland route, on
August lu'th, but was detained at Cha-poo by contrary wind
till the 19th, when he started to cross the Hang-chow Bay.
The same day the boat was attacked by pirates, and Mr.
Lowrie was thrown overboard, no trace of his body having
ever been discovered afterwards. A cenotaph has been erect-
ed to his memory in the Ningpo Presbyterian cemetery.

MACGO WAN, a native of the United States, and member
of the Baptist church, graduated as M. D. in America; and
having previously visited Paris, he was sent out to China
as a medical missionary, by the American Baptist Board of
Foreign Missions. He arrived at Hongkong about the end of
February, 1843, where he found a home in Mr. Shuck's fami-
ly. At the general convention of Protestant missionaries
regarding the translation of the Scriptures, lie was present at
all the meetings, except those of August 22nd and Septem-
ber 1st and 4th. Towards the end of September, lie embarked
for the north; proceeded to Chusan, and afterwards to Ning-
po, where he took up his residence, and opened a hospital
early in November. In the former part of 1844, after three
months practice, he closed the hospital and made a voyage
to Bengal, where he married Miss Osborne, the sister of an
English Church missionary there, returning to Hongkong
Avith Mrs. Macgowan towards the end of the year. Thence
he sailed on the 20th of February, 1845, in the Isabella Anna,
and proceeded north to Ningpo where he arrived in April,
with the Rev. M. S. Culbertson. There he reopened his hos-
pital the same month, having in the mean time been chosen an
agent of the Medical Missionary Society. His connection
with that society was temporarily suspended in 1847, but re-
sumed the following year. During the summer of 1848, he
spent a few weeks at Chusan, where he had large opportu-
nities of administering medical relief among the natives. In
consecpuence of the state of Mrs. Macgowan's health, he found
it necessary to remove to the south of China in 1S54, where

LXX. Jg ^Loo-yih. JOHN LLOYD was born in Hun-
tingdon county, Pennsylvania, October 1st, 1813. The first
fifteen years of his life were spent at home, where he received a
strict religious training, and as good an education as the district
schools afforded. From his sixteenth to his twenty-first year,
he acted as clerk in several establishments, and improved his
leisure hours in acquiring knowledge, reading with avidity
such books as came in his way, especially those of a historical
character. The pursuits of trade, however, were not congenial
to his mind, and he commenced a course of classical studies
at Jefferson College, Canonsburgh, in the spring of 1834, un-
der the presidency of the Eev. M. Brown, D. D. In the second
session of his collegiate course, there was a powerful revival of
religion at the institution, which led to his making a public
profession of religion in March, 1835. In September, 1839,
he graduated as A. B. at that college; and next year began
his studies with a private clergyman, preparatory to entering
the ministry. In 1841, he entered the Theological Seminary
at Princeton; in 1843. lie received the degree of A. M. ; and
in 1844, he was licensed to preach the gospel, by the presby-
tery of New York. Having been appointed missionary to the
Chinese, by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian
Church, he left his native land on June 22nd that year, hi
the Cohota, with Dr. Happer, and Messrs. Culbertson and
Loomis, reaching Macao on October 22nd. After consulta-
tion with the brethren of his mission there, he left for Amov
with Dr. Hepburn about the end of Nevember, and reached
his destination on December 6. There he remained occupied
with his missionary pursuits till the time of Ids death, which
took place December Gth, 1848, exactly four years after his
arrival.

on January 18th, 1819. He studied at West Point Military
Academy, and graduated there in June, 1840 ; after which he
was for a short time Assistant Instructor of Mathematics there.
He subsequently held a commission as Second Lieutenant of
Artillery in the United States army ; but resigned his com-
mand to become a missionary to the heathen. After comple-
ting his studies at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he
graduated in May, 1844, he was ordained to the ministry of
the gospel. Being appointed a missionary to China, by the
Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church, he left
America with Mrs. Culbertson in the Cohota, on June 22nd,
accompanied by Dr. Ilapper and Messrs. Lloyd and Loomis,
arriving at Macao on October 22nd. Proceeding to Hong-
kong the following February, he embarked in the Isabella
Anna on the 20th, accompanied by the Rev. A. W.
Loomis and Dr. Macgowan, for Chusan, which he reached
on March 30th, and Ningpo in the beginning of April. When
the Presbyterian church of Ningpo was organized, on May 18th,
he was chosen pastor. Having been transferred to the Sliang-

hae station, he removed there with his family in July, 1850,
and was elected to represent Ningpo, in the Committee of
Delegates about to meet in that settlement for the translation
of the Old Testament. He took his seat with his colleagues
for that purpose on the 1st of August; hut when the trans-
lators had reached near the middle of Leviticus, an alteration
•took place in the constitution of the committee, and Mr. Cul-
bertson in concert with Dr. Bridgman commenced the Old
Testament de novo. At this and the New Testament, he
continued till October, 1855, when he left with his family for
the United States, and returned to Shanghae in June, 1858.
He then resumed his work on the Sacred Scriptures, prosecut-
ing the task conjointly, till the death of his venerated colleague
in November, 1861. About this time he paid a visit to Amoy
with his family, and returning to Shanghae, completed the
translation shortly before his own death, which took place
at Shanghae on the 25th of August, 1862. The degree of D.
D. was conferred on him by a University in America, but the
intelligence did not reach Shanghae till he had finished his
earthly course. He was buried in the Shanghae cemetery,
leaving a widow and three daughters to mourn his loss.

took up his abode, and commenced missionary operations,
continuing on the island till August, 1846, shortly after its
evacuation by the British forces. The natives then, under
pretext of alarm regarding an earthquake that occurred on the
4th of that month, compelled him to quit, and he removed to
Ningpo. Failing health however rendered it necessary for
him to leave China, and after spending some months in Chu-
san, he embarked for the United States with Mrs. Loomis in
October, 1849. After a protracted residence in his native land,

mentioned to Mr. Bonney, that the Morrison Education Society
in China was in want of a teacher, that Mr. Macy had been
eagaged as assistant to the Rev- S. Brown, but would not be
prepared to go out for another year, and proposed that Mr.
Bonney should occupy that post in the interim. Upon due
consideration, the proposal was accepted by him, having en-
tered into an understanding with the American Board, that at
the close of his engagement with the Morrison Education So-

ciety, he should continue as a missionary in their service. He
left New York in the Huntress, about the end of 1844, accom-
panied bv the Rev. H. A. Brown, and arrived at Hongkong
on March 10th, 184.3. There he entered immediately on the
duties of the school, which he sustained for nearly twelve
months. He was then relieved by the arrival of Mr. Macy,
and proceeded immediately to Canton, as licentiate, in con-
nection with the American Board. In 1847, lie was striving
to obtain a residence outside the foreign factories at Canton.
In 1848, he was living in the large Buddhist monastery at
Honam, opposite the. city of Canton, but was not permitted to
remain. Next year he occupied rooms in the hong of a
native merchant at Honam. Subsequently, lie rented a house
below Dutch Folly on the Canton side, and for a time wore
Chinese costume. Between the years 1850 and 1853, he lived
at Whampoa and Newtown, where he interested himself es-
pecially in the welfare of seamen, and on one occasion had an
interview with the Italian patriot Garribaldi, who had come to
China as master of a merchant vessel. When Dr. Williams
joined the Japanese expedition under Commodore Perry, in
1854, Mr. Bonney returned to Canton, to take temporary charge
of the Press of the American Board. At the close of the year,
he left for the United States, and by the way visited Java,
Germany and England. While in his native land, he was en-
gaged in reviewing his theological studies, and in preparation
for the ministry of the gospel, to which he was then ordained.
In July, 1856, he was married at Albany, New York, to Cathe-
rine Visscher, the daughter of General SolomanVan Reusselaer,
and the next month, left for China, where he arrived within
two years from the time he left it. After a residence of near-
ly two years at Macao, where his fellow missionaries were
exiled during the war, he with others returned to Canton at
the close of the year 1858, to renew his labours, preaching and
superintending schools. In 1861, in company with the Rev.
W. R. Beach, Dr. Dickson and Mr. Thorburn, he made the
inland journey through Hoo-nan to Hankow, where he ar-
rived on the 19th of May, thirty-nine days after leaving Can--
ton. After a brief stay, he returned to Canton, by Avay of
Shanghae. In March 1862, he paid a visit to Japan with
Mrs. Bonney, on account of her health. In December of the
same year, he made a trip into the interior of Kwang-tung
province, in company with tne Rev. Messrs. Gray and John
Preston, to the district of Chang-ning, where they were at-
tacked by a band of robbers, and deprived of their clothes,
money, horses and baggage; but the natives kindly provided
them with the means of returning. In 1 863, in company
with some friends, he made a second trip up the North river,
as far as Shm-kwan. After a protracted illness of two months.

to the ministry in the United States, was appointed a mis-

the Protestant Episcopal Church. He left New York with
Mrs. Woods in the Horatio, on the 14th of December, 1844,
in company with Bishop Boone and a missionary party, and
arrived in Hongkong on the 24th of April, 1845. He left that
port on July 5th, in the John Horton, together with the Rev.
R. Graham, Rev. W. Fairbrother, and Mr. Cole with their wives,
reaching Shanghae on the 25th. His residence there however
was but of short duration, for ill health compelled him to leave
the place after a few months, and he returned to America in
the early part of 1846. By the latest information, he was
very recently Rector at Bloomingto in Illinois.
LXXVII. RICHARDSON GRAHAM, an ordained mi-
nister of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United
Stales, was appointed missionary to China, by the Board of
Foreign Missions in connection with that body. Leaving
New York with Mrs. Graham, in the Horatio, on the 14th of
December, 1844, in the party that accompanied Bishop Boone
on his return to the East, he landed at Hongkong on April
24th, 1845. There, in company with Messrs. Woods, Fair-
brother and Cole, he embarked in the John Horton, July
5th, and reached Shanghae on the 25th. During the follow-
ing year, his health having failed, he left the station with his
wife and child, by the Coquett, about the middle of January,
1847, and arrived at Hongkong bl i month; where he
embarked for the United States. By the latest information

LXXVIII. WILLIAM FAIRBROTHER, a student of
Springhill College near Birmingham, having boon appointed
missionary to China, by the London Missionary Society, was
ordained/ September 3rd, 1844, in Carr's Lane Chapel, Bir-
mingham. On the 26th of October, he embarked in the Kelso,
with Mrs. Fairbrother, and arrived at Calcutta, March 15th,
1845. Thence he sailed soon after in the Dido, and was at
Singapore on May 21st. The vessel in which they sailed from
that place, took tire at sea, and after a narrow escape from
their perilous situation, they were rescued by the ship Ju-
dith, and arrived at Hongkong on June 28th. On the 5th
of July, they embarked in the JohnHorton, in company with
Messrs. Woods, Graham and Cole, and their wives, and
arrived at Shanghae on the 25th. Within a week or two af-
terwards, Mrs. Fairbrother was seized with an attack of
diarrhoea which brought on premature confinement, under
which she sank, and expired on the 1 8th of September. Scarce-
ly had the grave closed over the mortal remains of his be-
loved partner, when Mr. Fairbrother was himself laid aside
by illness; and it became painfully evident that no measure
but an immediate return to his native country would avail
to preserve his life. He accordingly left for England in J anuary,
1846, and arrived in London on June 18th. After his return
to England, he was for some time pastor over a congregation
in Maidenhead; but has also been much engaged travelling
through Great Britain on behalf of the Society, and in 1863
was appointed Travelling Secretary of the London Missionary
Society.

language for a time under Professor Neumann. Having pre-
viously lost his wife, he sailed for the East with his son
Joseph, in the Duke of Portland, accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. Jarrom, and arrived at Hongkong on September 21st,
1845. The same year he reached Ningpo and commenced a

ceived considerable assistance from his son, who withdrew
however about the year 1851. Although for the greater part

ary to the Chinese, by the General Baptist Missionary Society.
He embarked with Mrs. Jarrom in the Duke of Portland.
accompanied by Mr. Hudson and his son, and arrived at Hong-
kong on the 21st of September, 1845. The following year
he went north and settled at Ningpo. There he was called
to pass through a severe trial, in the death of Mrs. Jarrom,
which took place on the 26th of February, 1848. In the year
1850, finding his own views so different from those of his col-
league, as to render cooperation impracticable, he left Ningpo,
and returned to England, retiring from connection with the
mission. By the latest accounts, he was pastor of a Baptist
congregation in England.

bours, preaching and teaching for a number of years, till
compelled by failure of health, he left with his family in the
Mandarin for New York, on the 18th of February, 1853.
After spending some time in California, he returned to Shang-
hae in 1856. During his residence in China, he was ever
forward in any public-spirited or philanthropic enterprise.
He undertook the direction of an Institution for the poor
Blind, which had been set on foot. He was one of the
original promoters of the North China Branch of the Royal
Asiatic Society, and gave it his active- support while he
remained in Shanghae, being Recording Secretary for the
year 1859-60. In the year 1859, Mrs. Syle died, and he left
for America with his three children in the Pursuit, on Decem-
ber 11th, I860. Soon after his arrival in the United States, he
received the pastorate of a large church in Philadelphia, and
married a second time; but in consequence of some differing
views, he left that place, and has been for some years presiding
over a charge in Long Island, New York.

with agricultural pursuits.
LXXXIII. E.N. JENCKS, a member of the Baptist
communion in the United States, was married to Susan
daughter of the Rev. Daniel Baldwin, of Milford, Connecti-
cut. Being ordained to the ministry, he was appointed mis-
sionary to the Chilli's.', by the American Baptist Missionary
Union, this being the same body which was formerly desig-
nated the American Baptist Board of Foreign Missions. He-
left New York with Mrs. Jencks on the 29th of June, 1846,
in the Cohota, in company with the Revs. W. Dean, S. C.
Clopton, and George Pearcy, with their wives; and on th
of October arrived at Macao. From Hongkong he proceeded
to Bankok his destined station, the same year. There he
made rapid progress with the language, but in a short time,
the failure of Mrs. Jencks' health compelled them to quit the
field. They left Bankok in November, 1847, returned to
China via Singapore, and embarked in the Valparaiso for the
United States, from Whampoa, April 12th, 1848. Mrs.
Jencks died at sea June 27th, in latitude 32° 10' south,
longitude 14° east, and her remains were committed to the
deep the following day. Mr. Jencks remarried in America,
where he remained in the prosecution of his ministerial labours,
having dissolved his connection with the Society.

paratory department of Richmond College, he spent some
time as a student in the Newton Theological Institution in
Massachusetts, where he left the reputation of a prayerful,
godly young man. Being ordained to the ministry, he was
appointed missionary to the Chinese, by the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Southern Baptist Convention. He left New
York with Mrs. Clopton in the Cohota, on June 20th, 1846,
accompanied by the Revs. W. Dean, E. N. Jencks and Or.
Pearcy, with their wives, arriving at Macao on the 6th of
October. Thence he removed to Canton on the 9th, where
he commenced his preparatory missionary labours. It is
supposed that he contracted a fever by exposure to the hot
sun, while attending the funeral service of the United ^States
minister, the Hon. A. H. Everett, on the 30th of June, 1847.
He died on the 7th of July following, and was buried on French

June, 1848. In August, he left Hongkong for Shanghae,
but was driven back by a typhoon; he embarked again in
September, and reached his destination. He remained at
Shanghae till 1854, when he was attacked with a severe sick-
ness, which brought him very low, and rendered a visit to his
native land necessary; so that he left for the United States,
with Mrs. Pearcy, about the end of the year. He was anxious
to return to China, but the Board declined sending him,
on account of his health. After spending some time as an
agent for the collection of funds, lie was appointed to the

States, on the 21st of August, 1S21. His ancestors removed
from Plymouth in England, in 1630, to enjoy religious liber-
ty in the wilds of America. The colony of which they formed
a part, built the town of Dorchester in New England. An
offshoot from this colony removed to the south in 1695, and
established a colony and church in Liberty county, Georgia.
The Kev. Robert Quarterman, father of the subject of this
sketch, was pastor of this church till his death in 1849. At
the age of sixteen J. W. Quarterman went to college, and
the following year became a member of the Christian church.
In 1841, he entered the University of Alabama; and after-
wards received his theological education in the Columbian
Theological Seminary, where he remained for three years.
Having been ordained to the ministry, he was appointed mis-
sionary to the Chinese, by the Board of Foreign Missions of
the Presbyterian Church, and embarked at New York on July
20th, 1846, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Speer and Mr.
French, arriving at Macao on December 27th. He reached
Ningpo on the Sth of March, 1847; where his principal
work was preaching; although he rendered much assistance
in carrying on the operations of the press, and the different
schools connected with the mission. In the beginning of
185G, he accompanied the Rev. C. C. Baldwin on a visit to
Shanghae overland. With the exception of some such occa-
sional trips, he remained steadily at his post till 1857, when
he was attacked by confluent smallpox, and died on the 13th

under the direction of Dr. Gutzlaff. He left Europe in company
with the Rev. II. Lechler about the end of 1846, and reached
Hongkong on March I9tb, L847. Being appointed to the
eastern part of Kwangtung province as his sphere, he early
began to itinerate with the native preachers, but met with some
opposition from the authorities at theoutset. When Dr. Gutz-
laifleft for Europe in September, 1849, Mr. Hamberg took
charge of the Chinese Union; but on discovering the imposi-
tions that were being practised, he gave up all connection
with it. He spent a good deal of time at Pukak, Fungfo
and Lilong among the Hakkas, a race of Chinese settlers in
the eastern part of the province, and was the first missionary
to learn their dialect. He was elected a delegate for Hongkong
to the committee for translating the Old Testament, which
met at Shanghae in 1850, but never went to take his place
there. In 1852, he was married at Hongkong, and returned
to his station at Pukak, where he remained till the spring of
1854, -hut was then induced to go to Hongkong on account of
his health, and there he died on May 13th. Mrs. Hamberg
returned to Europe shortly after.

XCI. HEINRICH KUSTER, a native of Germany, or-
dained to the ministry of the gospel, was'appointed a mission-
ary to China, by the Rhenish Missionary Society. He left
Europe about the end of the year 1846, accompanied by the
Rev. F. Genahr and reached Hongkong in the spring of the
following year, where he was put in connection with the
Chinese Union, under the direction of Dr. Gutzlaff. Soon
after his arrival, he commenced travelling in the interior, but
his health gave way, and he died at Hongkong in the au-
tumn, when he had been only six months in China.
XCII. ^| §i jft Ye Nd-ts'ing. FERDINAND GENAHR,
an ordained minister of the gospel, was appointed a mis-
sionary to China, by the Rhenish Missionary Society. Be
left Europe towards the close of 1846, accompanied by
the Rev. H. Kiister, and a; rived at Hongkong in the spring
of 1847. Having been placed under the direction of Dr.
Gutzlaff in connection with the Chinese Union, he settled
at Taiping in Kwangtung province, in November. In the
following year he commenced a station at Se-heang, a village
about 20 miles from Hongkong, where he established a school.
In 1849 he opened an out-station at Woo-shlh-yen, and

labour for years in that region. In 1853 he was married to
Miss. Lechler, the sister of the missionary of that name. The
war with the English in the years 1856 to 1858 caused an
unavoidable suspension of his labours in the interior for a
time, but he returned afterwards to his old sphere, where he
continued his exertions till 1864, when he was cut off by
cholera on the 6th of August, and one of his sons the same
day. Another son died of the same disease the following
day; and Mrs. Grena.hr returned to Europe shortly after, with
her three remaining children.

C. ffi $c Ko-Un. JUDSON DWIGHT COLLINS was
born at Rose in Wayne county, New York. February 12th.
1822. His parents were members of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and their house a home for itinerant ministers. In
his early years he enjoyed the advantages of family worship,
the 'Sabbath school, and the gospel ministry. In 1831, he
emigrated with his parents to Michigan, and settled in the
town of rittsiield in Washtenaw county, where he laboured
with his father and brothers on a farm in summer, and at-
tended the district school in winter. On the opening of the
academy at Ann Arbor, he walked morning and evening three
miles and a half to enjoy its benefits.. At the age of fourteen
years, he became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church ;
and as he acquired ability, was successfully employed in
Sabbath school instruction, in Bible distribution, and in acts
of charily I i the poor, visits of counsel to the erring in prison.
and words of consolation to the unfortunate in the asylum.
He was a member of the first class in Michigan University,
where lie graduated in 1845. The same year he was employ-
ed as Professor of Natural and Moral Science in the Wesleyan
REV. MATTHEW T. YATES. 1 G7
Seminary at Albion. At an early period in his religious his-
tory, lie seems to have been devoted to the missionary work,
and his mind was led to China before the Methodist church
had a mission in that country. After his application to be
sent on such a mission, he accepted a temporary appointment
as a circuit preacher, in 1846. Having- been appointed to
China by the American Methodist Episcopal Missionary So-
ciety, he took leave of his friends at home on the 3rd of March,
1847; and proceeded to Rochester, New York, where he met
his future colleague, the Rev. M. C. White; with whom he
sailed from Boston in the Heber. on the 15th of April, accom-
panied also by the Revs. E. Doty and J. V. N. Talmage.
On the 4th of August they arrived at Macao, and on the
21st, he took passage in a lorcha at Hongkong, with Mr. and
Mrs. White, and arrived at Fun-chow on September 6th.
His first care on arriving was the acquirement of the local
dialect. In February, 1848, in concert Avith Mr. White, he
initiated a boy's school, and in the following August, opened
a place for preaching. In February, 1849, he was brought,
very low by typhus fever; and on his partial recovery, took a
trip to Ningpo and Shanghae, returning to his field of labour
in June, much improved in health. After the departure of
the Rev. H. Hickok, Mr, Collins received his appointment as
superintendent of the mission on May 2nd, 1850. Failing-
health compelled him to relinquish his chosen work however;
and he left Fuh-chow in April, 1851, embarked in the Ca-
talpa at Hongkong. May 14th. and crossing the Pacific, land-
ed in California duly 14th. He reached his home in Michi-
gan in September, much wasted and worn down by climate
and disease; but lingered till May, 1852, when he breathed
his last. His remains rest in the family cemetery at Lyndon
in Washtenow county, Michigan.

visit to Canton on account of his health in 1849, he returned
to Shanghae, and left for America in July the same year.
He has not since returned.

CIV. BENJAMIN SOUTHWELL was born at Bridg-
north in Shropshire, on June 12th, 1822. In youth he was
engaged in secular business, and became a member of the
Christian church in connection with the Congregational body.
His thoughts becoming directed ''towards the profession
of the ministry, he passed a course of study at Spring-hill
college, near Birmingham, and graduated as B. A. of the
London University in 1846. Having been accepted by the
London Missionary Society, he was ordained and set apart
as a missionary to China, in Ebenezer Chapel, Birmingham,
on February 10 th, 1847. He subsequently formed a matrimonial
alliance, and on the 20th of April, embarked with Mrs. South-
well in the Monarch, at Liverpool, accompained by the
Rev. W. Muirhead and Mr. A. Wylie. The voyage was
diversified by a few days stay at Simon's Town, and they
reached Shanghae on August 26th. On his arrival, Mr. South-
well set about those preparatory studies needful for his anti-
cipated labours, but failing health prevented that continuous
application requisite to success; and disease induced by the
climate, superadded to the effects of severe mental exercise
previous to leaving his native land, so completely prostrated
him, that he died of fever after fifteen days illness, on October
5th, 1849. He was buried in Shanghae cemetery, where a stone
marks his place of rest, and a memorial tablet is placed in
Union Chapel, Shanghae. Mrs. Southwell left for England
with her daughter towards the end of the month. She was
married a second time in 1864.

CXI. ffg 0JJ Ketn-ming. SENECA CUMMINGS was
born at Antrim, New Hampshire, United States, May 16th,
1817. He early discovered a fondness for books, and by the
progress he made1 in study at the common school in his native
place, he was soon employed in teaching himself in winter,
while he laboured on his father's farm in the summer. In
consequence of a partial paralysis of one arm, from which he
never fully recovered, at the age of twenty he was obliged to
relinquish a life of manual labour, and with the view of
fitting himself more fully for teaching, entered the Academy
at Meriden, and there prepared for college. During his first
ferm there he gave his heart to Grod, and became a member
BEV. CALEB COOK B .l.nwiX. 179
of the Presbyterian church in his native town. In 1840 he
entered Dartmouth College, where he graduated in 1844.
After that he spent a year as Principal of the Keene Acade-
my; during which time the death of his mother led him to a
deeper religious experience, and having resolved to devote his
life to the Christian ministry, he went in the autumn of 1845
to Lane Seminary. While at that institution his thoughts
were turned towards the work in heathen lands, and after
having spent a year there, he was accepted in 1846, by the
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and
designated to labour at Fuh-chow in China. He spent a
second year in the study of theology at the Union Theologi-
cal Seminary. On the 28th of October, 1847, he was married
to A. M. Stearns, the sister of Mrs. Hartwell, wife of the
missionary at Fuh-chow, and on the 11th of November em-
barked with Mrs. Cumming, at Philadelphia in the Valpara-
iso, in companv with Dr. and Mrs. James. Miss. Pohlman,
the Eev. C. C. and Mrs. Baldwin, and the Eev. W. L. Rich-
ards, and landed at Hongkong March 25th, 1848. After
spending a few days in that colony, lie proceeded on his way
to Fuh-chow, where he arrived on the 7th of May. In the
autumn of 1849, he opened a small chapel in one of the main
streets, and there, besides the superintendence of a school,
and other mission duties, he continued for years to preach
Christ to the natives. The health of himself and his wife
however beginning to fail, they made a voyage to Shanghae
in the spring of 1855, but finding no benefit from that, they
soon returned to Fuh-chow, and there embarked in May for
the United States, where they landed October 10th. He took
up his abode at New Ipswich, and during the winter his
health improved. Next year he performed much ministerial
labour, and in August visited Andover to attend the anniver-
saries of the seminary. He went fo Boston also to arrange
for his return to China, but it was otherwise decreed; — he
died at New Ipswich, August 12th, 1856.

CXIII. M '{kLelh tsee. WILLIAM L. RICHAEDS,
son of the Rev. William Richards, one of the first missionaries
to the Sandwich Islands, was born at Lahaina on the island
of Maui in that group, December 3rd, 1823, the eldest of
eight children. During his residence among the heathen, he
was preserved as far as possible from pagan influence, by his
parents, from whom he .received his mental and moral training,
except that one of the other missionaries heard his recitations
in Latin for a few months. He remained at the islands till
he was thirteen years old, when he embarked on December
9th, 1836, with all the. rest of the family for the United
States. Soon after reaching that country, he entered the
sophomore class of Jefferson College, at Cannonsburg, Penn-
sylvania, in 1838, and found a home in the family of its presi-
dent, the Rev. Dr. Brown. In 1841, the death of a youthful
associate, which much affected him, seems to have been
blessed to his spiritual good, and he became a member of the
Presbyterian church at Cannonsburg that year. After his
graduation he. served as tutor for a year in the family of
William Buchanan, Esq., near Wheeling, Virginia. Having
spent some time in 1843 travelling with his father, who was
.hen on a second visit to the United States, he entered Union
Cheological Seminary at New York, in October. While
fchere, he resolved to devote his life to the extension of Christ's
cause among the heathen, and offered himself to the Ameri-
can Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, to go any-
WILLIAM FARMER. 181
where they might send him; in answer to which he was ap-
pointed in the spring of 1847, to join their mission at Fuh
chow in China. He was licensed by the Brooklyn presbytery,
April 29th, and ordained by the same body, October 14th, at
the church of which he was a member, under the pastorate of
the Rev. Mr. Speer. He embarked at Philadelphia in the Val-
paraiso, in company with Messrs. Cummings and Baldwin \vi th
their wives, Dr. and Mrs. James, and Miss Pohlman, on
November 11th, and landed at Hongkong, March 25th, 1848.
Leaving that port with Messrs. Cummings and Baldwin, he
reached Fuh-cnow on May 7th, and gave himself at once to
the study of the language, in which he made very satisfactory
progress, and procured a place where he continued to preach
Jesus to the people. After a brief career, he was attacked
in September, 1850, by haemorrhage of the lungs, and a
sea voyage was considered the only hope of prolonging his
life. He left Fnh-chow on November 12th, spent a little time
at Hongkong, and proceeded to Canton, where he embarked
for the United States in the Sea, on the 3rd of March, 1851.
He died at sea before reaching the end of the voyage, when
near St. Helena, on June 5th, and his mortal remains were
committed to the deep.
CXIV. J. SEXTON JAMES the son of J . E. James, Esq.
was born at Philadelphia. He obtained his classical educa-
tion at Brown University, studied theology at Newton, and
medicine in his native city, where he graduated as M. D. In
the latter part of 1847, he was married to Miss. Safford; and
having been appointed a missionary to China, by the Board

Indiana, in July, 184S. About that time he was invited by
the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church to
take charge of their printing establishment at Ningpo, which,
upon due deliberation and counsel he assented to. On the 1 st of

tendence of the press, he prosecuted the study of theology and
also of the'Chinese language; but had scarcely entered upon
his duties when he was attacked with fever and chronic diarr-
hoea, which afterwards turned to dysentery. In October, 1852,
he sought relief by a change to Shanghae, where he was re-
commended a voyage to his native land. After returning to
Ningpo, preparatory to his embarkation for the United States,
he suffered a renewed attack, and died on the 12th of Decem-
ber. Mrs. Coulter left with her children soon after for the
United States.
CXXIX. %■ ^ £ Saou Pah-sang. JOHN HOBSON, a
native of England, was at an early age deeply interested in
the missionary work, and with an ardent desire to preach the
gospel to the heathen, he offered his services to the Church of
England Missionary Society. Being accepted, he entered the
College of St. Bees in Cumberland, where he pursued his
theological studies; and having graduated as M. A. he was
ordained to the ministry by the Bishop of London in 1848.
He left England with Mrs. Hobson for China early in 1S49,
and arrived at Shanghae on the 30th of July. In September
he was requested temporarily to take the duties of the British
Chaplain Mr. Lowder, during the absence of the latter on a
visit to Ningpo. On the death of that gentleman off the island
of Pootoo on the 24th of the same month, urged by the com-
munity, and strongly advised by the Church Missionary Society,
REV. A. 1LGQUIST. 197
Mr. Hobson undertook the permanent duties of the chaplain-
cy the following year. He still continued to sympathize and
cooperate with the Chinese mission however, and was instru-
mental in establishing a large boarding school for Chinese
boys, in connection with the society. In 1857, he paid a
visit with his family to his native land, where he zealously
advocated the claims of the China mission, and returned to
his duties at Shanghae in 1858. In April and May, 1861,
he was temporarily absent at Hankow; and in the beginning
of April, 1862, he again sought relaxation by a trip to Japan,
arriving with Mrs. Hobson at Kanagawa on the 16th. On
the 19th he returned from an excursion to Yedo, greatly ex-
hausted by the lung ride; and the same evening embarked
for Nagasaki. During the voyage of seven days, fever came
on, and after landing he gradually sank till the evening of
the 30th, when he calmly resigned his spirit to Him who gave
it. His widow returned to Shanghae on May 12th with his
mortal remains, which were interred in the cemetery there on
the 1 3th. Mrs. Hobson embarked soon after for England,
where she has been since residing.

conducted under their united superintendence; but Mrs. Young

CXLVII. •£ Keih. CLEVELAND KEITH, second son
of the Rev. Reuel Keith, D. D. professor in the Episcopal
Theological Seminary at Alexandria in Virginia, was born in
that city "on April 16th, 1827. During his early childhood
his mother died, and lie lost his stepmother, and afterwards
his father, while yet a hoy. His education was conducted
partly in the Northern States and partly in the South, a large
portion of his early years having been spent in the latter.
Having studied for the ministry, he was ordained a deacon on
July 12th, 1850; and being appointed a missionary to China,
by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, he was admitted into priest's orders on July LOth,
1851. Shortly after that he sailed for China in the Oriental,
in company with Mr. and Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Points, and
arrived at Shanghae on December 25th, 1851. There he took
part with the other members of the mission in the -various du-
ties of the station, under the guidance of Bishop Boone. On
the 27th of April, 1854, he was married to Miss. Tenney of
of the same mission. In September he was attacked by a
severe and protracted sickness, from which he recovered
210 CLEVELAND KEITH.
g,fter several weeks, ami was enabled to resume his duties.
The continued effect of the climate however, and close appli-
cation to their work, began to tell very severely on both,
rendering necessary a more complete change, and they em-
barked for the United States in the White Swallow, on the
"21st of January, 1857, arriving at New York on May 2nd.
After spending two years in their native land, and having vi-
sited several water establishments, they reembarked at New
York in the S. H. Talbot, on May 4th, 1859, and arrived at
Hongkong on the 31st of August. They remained there three
weeks and then sailed for Shanghae, which they reached on
October 19th. Besides his former duties, Mr. Keith then ad-
ded the charge of a printing press which he had brought out
to facilitate the printing of colloquial books in the Roman
character. Mrs. Keith's health however soon began to break
down again, in consequence of which Mr. Keith accompanied
her to Kanagawa in J apan in February, 1862. They left that
port about the end of May, and reached San Francisco on the
27th of June, Mrs. Keith being extremely reduced. There
they were hospitably entertained at the house of Bishop Kip,
where Mrs. Keith died on July 11th. On the 21st, Mr. Keith
left for Panama in the Golden Gate steamer, which took fire at
sea, and proved a total wreck, on the 27th, when he was
drowned while humanely assisting some of his fellow passengers.

Caroline Phebe Tenney was born at Newmarket in the
county of Rockingham, New Hampshire, U. S. on May 13th,
1821. Her father was a mem her of the New Hampshire bar.
His ancestors were of the Puritan stock, the first of the name
in that country, being members of a colony who emigrated
212 CLEVELAND KEITH.
from Yorkshire in England, about the year L639, and settled
in Essex county, Massachusetts. Miss Tenney's education
was conducted mainly at home up to her Kith year; and her
parents being Congregationalists, such were her religious as-
sociations to that period. In the summer of 1836 she was
sent to the Adams' Female Seminary in Deny, New Hamp-
shire, where she completed the regular course of study, and
received her diploma in October, 1837. On the 23rd of April
in the following year she lost her mother, and in the middle
of September her father also died. In 1839, she continued
her studies under the direction other brother at Cambridge,
and in September united herself to the Unitarian church in
Danvers. In November, 1841, she entered upon an engage-
ment as private teacher in a family at Charleston in South
Carolina, which she retained for a year. Early in 1844, she
commenced a similar engagement in a family near Charlestown
in Jefferson county, Virginia, and terminated the same at mid-
summer of the following year. In the spring of 1846, in conse-
quence of a change in her religious views, she left the Unita-
rian body, and joined the Episcopal church. In November,
1847, she again took an engagement as private teacher at Port
Conway, King George county, Virginia; where she remained
till the summer of 1849, and then removed to New York;
shortly after which she resolved to devote her life to mission-
ary work among the heathen. The call for female agency at
Shanghae was urgent, and Miss. Tenney was soon engaged for
that sphere, by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church. She left New York in the Tartar, on
March 16th, 1850, and arrived at Hongkong on July 6th. On
the 2nd of August she reached Shanghae, and after no very
lengthened period was actively engaged in school work. From
the period of her marriage with Mr. Keith, on April 27th, 1854,
she zealously cooperated with him in all his engagements, and
was affectionately tended by him in her dying moments. Her
body was deposited in the cemetery of San Francisco on July
12th, 1862, but was taken by ship to New York in the follow-
ing spring, and interred in Greenwood Cemetery, where a me-
morial marble tablet to herself and her husband, has been
erected by their missionary board.

Shanghae. He sailed in the Oriental in the latter part of 1851,
in company with Mr. and Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Keith, and ar-
rived at Shanghae on December 25th. Ill health compelled

he returned in the Gravina, accompanied by Bishop and Mrs.
Boone, arriving at Shanghae on April 13th, 1854. Again

CCI. [1] ^ ||J Shan Td-p'eih. DAVID SANDEMAN,
second son of Grlas Sandeman Esqr. of Bonskied, was born at
Perth, on April 23rd, 1826. In his infancy he was somewhat
more sedate than children usually are; and in boyhood, was
distinguished by perseverance, along with regularity in all his
habits, and a strong sense of duty. At the age of fifteen he
was sent to the Pestalozzian Institution at Worksop in Not-
tinghamshire, where besides other acquirements he began to
learn French and German. In the years 1839 and 1840, the
ministry of Mr. Millar, then ])astor of St. Leonard's church,
Perth, and next that of Mr. Milne his successor, produced a
considerable impression on his mind, which was deepened by
attending the services conducted by Mr. W. C. Burns during
a season of revival. In 1842, he went to Glasgow to learn
the mercantile business. His mind having been long turned
towards spiritual things, it was on the 7th of April, 1844,
that he first openly united himself with the people of God, in
connection with the congregation of St. Leonard's Free-church,
Perth, under the pastorate of the Kev. Mr. Milne, and he dated
his. conversion from that period. About the end of July he
left his parental home, and entered a mercantile establishment
in Manchester, where he found many opportunities of shewing,
his zeal for Christ. While there a desire sprang up to enter
the ministry, and in" furtherance of that view he left for Edin-
burgh, where he arrived on November 27th. There he began
to attend the various classes in the Free Church college, when
his attention was given to Latin, Greek, Natural Philosophy
and the higher Mathematics, besides other pursuits of a less
severe kind. He studied Logic under Sir. William Hamilton,
Moral Philosophy under Professor McDougall, and Theology
in all its branches under Dr. Bannerman, Dr. James Buchan-
an and Principal Cunningham; while he pursued at the same
time the study of Hebrew, and made progress in the cognate
dialects, under Dr. John Duncan. During the period of his
student life he twice enjoyed the opportunity of a short visit
to France and Switzerland. On January 11th, 1855, he was
licensed to preach, and his first sermon was delivered the fol-
lowing Sunday in the church of Mr. Somerville at Anderston,
Glasgow. A few days afterwards his services were requested
at Hillhead, a station about three miles from Glasgow, where
he commenced his ministry in February. His mind however
had been for five or six years set on China as a field of labour,
and he had not been quite three months at Hillhead, when he
became decided as to his duty regarding it. In May he again

paid a visit to tlie continent; from the 19th to the 26th, he
was in Kome; afterwards at Naples, visited Vesuvius and
Pompeii, returned by Turin, and over Mount Cenis to Paris,
reaching Loudon about the middle of July. His ordination
was delayed for a time on account of his father's death; but
having been appointed a missionary to China, by the Foreign
Mission Board of the Presbyterian Church in England, the
ceremony took place at the Scotch church in Regent Square,
London/ on April 26th, 1856. He afterwards visited Birming-
ham, Newcastle, Liverpool, Stafford and Matlock, preaching
and exhorting at all these places. At Lowick he crossed to
Holy Island where he preached to the fishermen; and was at
Kilsyth on August 21st. On the 6th of September he left
Springfield bis parental home, after which we find records of
his untiring zeal, at Edinburgh, Westfield, Hillhead and Lon-
don where he arrived on the 22nd. On October 1st he was
on a visit to Torquay, and within a day or two after left Eng-
land for the continent, where visiting Berlin on the way, he
proceeded thence to Marseilles. He sailed from that port on
the 11th via Malta to Alexandria, and was at Suez on the
21st; on November 8th he was at Point cle Gralle, on the 18th
at Singapore, and on December 1st arrived at Hongkong. On
the" 6th he embarked for Swatow, where he stopped on the
way, and reached Amoy on the 9th. His career there how-
ever Avas a short one; for while diligently preparing for future
usefulness, he was cut off by cholera on July 31st, 1858. His
remains were interred in the missionary cemetery on the island
of Koo-lamr sew.

VOEGrLER, a native of Prussia, was ordained to the minis-
try after passing through the usual course of study; and
having been appointed a missionary to China, by the Mission
Union for the Evangelization of China, in Pomerania, he
arrived at Shanghae with his sister in 1858. The failure of
his health however, soon indicated the necessity of a change,
and he left Shanghae on July 2nd, 1860, in in the Excel-
sior, for a visit to Japan, in company with Mr. Wylie, re-
turning to his station after a residence of about two months
at Nagasaki. This proving insufficient to restore him, he
left soon after for the south; and having made a short stay
at Canton, he took passage to New York. In the latter part
of 1S61, he sailed from the United States direct to Ham-
burg, and thence proceeded to his native place near Stettin.
Symptoms of pulmonary disease continuing to increase, he
went to Karlsbad for a few weeks in the summer of 1862, for
the benefit of the waters. Having returned to his parental
residence at Balm, he died there in the latter part of the same
year, the event having been hastened by a cold caught in re-
moving one night that the house in which he was living had
taken fire.
