SHANGIIAE : AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN MISSION PRESS. 1867. 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- PREFACE. iii 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 IV PREFACE. 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.

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- 2 JOSHUA MAKSHMAN. 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: — CHINESE. I- Ufa: Shiny king. The Holy Scriptures. Serampore, 1822. ENGLISH. 2.

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 ROBERT MORRISON". 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. The following works were written by Dr. Morrison: — CHINESE. 1- M J^ tfo H tk 1ft II eiu % ^ Shin ta° u ? un s ^'^ 1 hew she tsung shied chin,pun.

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, Woo-chay-yun-foo j£ ^|| ){f on which the following par; oi the Dictionary is founded, was compiled by Chin Seen-sang ^ ^t £ wno is sam t0 nave 8 P. ent llis lill> '" makin " l!

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. 20. Memoirs of Rev. William Milne. 8vo. pp. 231, Malacca, 1824, 21.

ROBERT MORRISON. 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- 12 WILLIAM MILNE. 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 w r as 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. .'>. Paul's" Speech on Mars hill. The naiias of the bthers are not preserved. J 1 1 • >fc H Me Lein . W ILLIAM MILNE was born in the parish of Kennethmont in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1785. His father died when lie was six years of age ; and his mother gave Inn) the education common to others in the same con- dition of life. When very young, lie was put out to farm WILLIAM MILNE. ]JJ 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. The following works are from his pen: — ■ CHINESE. 1. A farewell address. 3 leaves. Batavia, 1814.

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 in 1832. he was called to mourn over the :\^i\}i of another child. For several years he continued zealously to cine 22 WILUAM MILHE. 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: — 1- ilk i£ $$ Jit U '!- M- ^ w s hz teh t s ° y a 9 u 1™ kea>€. Miscellaneous Exhortations. 37 leaves. Canton, 1819. This contains a preface concerning Grod as the Creator, and object of worship, to which the ten Commandments are attached — passages in the 2nd Chapter of the Hebrews — 2 Peter, 2nd chapter — whole of the 1st chapter, and part of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of James, explained — 2 Timothy 3: 15 — 1 Peter 3: 10 to the end— 1 Peter 4: 3 to 10—1 John 1 : 8, 9— James 5th — three hymns and prayers. As the composition of a 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.

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 of the London Mission in August, at Hongkong. There 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 VYALTER HENRY MEDHURST. 27 January 1857, reaching London the next day; and died there on the 24th. lie was honoured with a public funeral at Ahney Park cemetery, where he was buried on the 30th.

This was reprinted at Malacca in 1832, and a small-sized edition appeared at Singapore in 1839. It was revised and recut at Hongkong in 1843, the blocks being sent to London, stereotyped and printed in 1846. A new edition was put through the press at Shaaghae in 1845; and a reprint from the stereotype plates, at the same press in 1848. The same year, it was reprinted, in a smaller type, at the Presbyterian Mission Press at Ningpo. In 1851, it underwent a complete and thorough revision by Dr. Medhurst, which was printed at Shanghae the same year; at Hongkong and also Amoy the following year; and again at Shanghaein 1856. The work has been several times published with a Commentary ; once by the author, under the title H ^ M pi W- & ail t sz e ^ lv 'J c 'J< o6 k ea $, in 43 leaves.

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. 17. M M li^p& Tdy soo skull tsuy die ten. Tract on Eedemption. 21 leaves. Batavia, 1829.

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.

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. 42.

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."

Singapore, 1832. ^v^^/5 C ri0 ° TIii-lang, a native of Kwang-tung province in China, accompanied Mr. Medhurst on his return to Eng- land in 1836. as amanuensis lor the Sacred Scriptures, which the latter was engaged in translating into Chinese. While there he resided with Mr. Medhurst at Hackney, near Lop- don, being through the kindness of Christian friends, taught the English language, and carefully instructed in the truths • JOHN' SLATER. 41 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 4G DAVID COLLIE. his wife from Portsmouth in the Windsor Castle, touched at St. Jago on the 5th of December, stopped at Colombo on the 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. The following are the principal of his published works: — CHINESE. 1. Tract on Kegeneration. 50 leaves. Malacca, 1824. 2. Sheet tracts.

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.

JOHN SMITH, an ordained minister, and A.

On May 1st. he sailed from Portsmouth with Mrs. Smith, in the Lady Holland, touched at Madeira 50 JACOB TOML1N. 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. 1. Journal kept during a voyage from Singapore to Siam, and while residing nine months in that country. Svo. pp. 67. Singapore.

SAMUEL DYEE, the son of John Dyer, was bom 52 SAMUEL DYER. 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. Among Mr. Dyer's published works are: — CHINESE. 1. Tract on Heaven.

XVI. f$ t ft K° Slah-lee. KARL FRIEDRICH AU- 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 se1 sail on Hie 18th of June, and after calling at some places KARL FRTKDKK'Il AUGUST GUTZLAFF. 55 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. Mrs. Griitzlaff having gone to Singapore for the benilit of her 56 K.VIU.

The following are his principal works: — CHINESE. 1. ^ ^ P $£ ^ Td ying Jcico t'ung cite. History of England. JS34.

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. Publications by. A//-. Touitg. CHINESE. !■ till M. B 1%.

On the 14th of January, 1854, he again accompanied Com- modore Perry's squadron, on another visit to Japan, when they called at Loo-choo on the way. and reached tin/ Bay of Yeclo on the II th of February. Having procured a treaty, and arranged all things in a satisfactory manner, Dr. Williams left with part of the squadron for Hongkong on the 28th of June, arriving there in the latter part of July. In 1856, he received the appointment of Secretary of Legation for the U. S. and resigned his connection with the Missionary Society the following year. In 1858 lie accompanied the Legation to Teen- tsin, and was present at the formation of the treaty between China and the United States, on June 18th. having visited Shanghae and Japan in the same expedition before returning to the south. On the arrival in China of Mr. Ward, the newly-appointed minister, Dr. Williams accompanied him to Shanghae. in May, 1859, when.', after some negotiation with the Imperial commissioners, they proceeded northward and reached Pekin on the 28th of July.

XXIII. IRA TRACY, a student of the Theological 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. Publications by Mr. Tract/.

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 SAMUEL MUNSON. 81 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. Publications by Dr. Parker. ENGLISH. 1.

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.

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 labouring Publications by Dr. Dean. CHINESE. 1 W IS tf'P W K'i ta6u shin she. Prayers and Hymns, pp. 22. Bankok, 1840.

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- tant Episcopal Church in the United States, arrived in Can- ton in the autumn of 1835, in company with Mr. Lockwood; with whom he reached Batavia on the 23rd of December. There he commenced the study of the Chinese lansruao-e on SAMUEL WOLFE. 89 his arrival, preparatory to future usefulness. His period of 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. Publications by Mr. Davies. ENGLISH. 1. China and her Spiritual Claims. 12mo. pp, ix, 134. London, 1845. 2.

SAMUEL WOLFE, an ordained missionary, in connection with the London Missionary Society, sailed from England in company with Mr. and Mrs. Davies, in the Dnke of Sussex, on the 8th of May, 1835, and having stopped at Penang on the way, arrived at Singapore on the 26th of September. While there, he made encouraging progress in the Chinese language, but indications of failing health soon 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 90 JEHU LEWIS SHUCK. 19 th of November, when he left for Singapore. Towards 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. There is an article by Mr. Wolfe on the Orthography of the Chinese language, in the 5th volume of the Chinese Eepository. 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.

She was converted in August, 1831, at a 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.

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 w r as 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. XXXVI. $k%&Ld Hca6u-tseuen. ISSACHAR JA- 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 ISSACHAR JACOX ROBERTS. 95 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. Publications by Mr. Roberts^. CHINESE. 1. ^ *[5 Jj| $g Tsze poo tselh heal.

XXXIX. S^^LoCh'e. ELIHU DOTY, an ordained minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in the United States was married to Clarissa D. Ackley of Litchfield, with whom he left New York, in the beginning of June, 1836", as a mission- 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.

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- 100 WILLTAM JONES BOCWE. 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 WILLIAM JONES BOONE. 10] 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 Y/e s^mz^ tsVm wan.

Being the first agent of the Society in that sphere, his special commission was to ascertain what openings existed for the establishment of a mission. Soon after his arrival, he become joint secretary with the Rev. J. Stronach, of the Singapore Tract and Book Society. In the latter part of 1838, he removed to Macao, where he re- mained till August, 1839; but in consequence of threatening danger from the Chinese, he then took his departure, with his wife and children, along with most of the British residents there. In 1840, he left China, on account of the delicate state of Mrs. Squire's health, and terminated his connection with the mission the following year. He was afterwards Vicar of Swansea in South Wales.

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. Then 1 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.

BENJAMIN HOBSON, a medi- 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 on the 27th of Julv, where he resumed the charge of the hos- 12 G BENJAMIN HUDSON'. 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.

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. LIX. JAMES C. HEPBURN, graduated as M. D. in the United States, and having been appointed medical mis- sionary by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church, lie sailed with Mrs. Hepburn in the summer of 1841 for Singapore, which he reached about the middle of Septem- WALTER MACON LOWIUK. 129 l>er. Ln the summer of 1843 lie removed to Macao; and having been accepted by the Medical Missionary Society, he proceeded to Amoy in the beginning of October; but driven back by adverse weather, he was in Hongkong again on the 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. PulliccAlons by Mr. W. M. Lowrie. CHINESE. 1- if # H ffflf LepaSjih yaou lun.

DANIEL JEROME 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 DANIEL JEROME MACGOWAN. 133 he made a temporary stay at Amoy, Hongkong and Macao. In 1859 lie paid a short visit to Japan, and subsequently, on account of ill health, took a voyage to England with his fa- mily. In the summer of 1861, he went over to Paris for a few weeks, returning to London. Having travelled through a great part of the United Kingdom delivering lectures on China and Japan, he returned to America in the summer of IS(i2; since which he has held a commission in the Federal army.

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.

MICHAEL SIMPSON CTJLBERTSON was born at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, 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- MICHAEL SIMPSON C (JLBERTSON. 147 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. Publications by Mr. Culbertson. CHINESE. 1 . jE jjiiji ~\- fjjj( ^fc |^ Chin shin sink keae choo shih.

AUGUSTUS WARD LOOMIS was ordained to the ministry in the United States, and appointed a missonary to China, by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church. He left America with Mrs. Loomis in the Cohota, on June 22nd, 1844, accom- panied by Messrs. Lloyd, Happer and Culbertson, of the same society, and arrived at Macao on October 22nd. On the 20th of February following, he embarked at Hongkong in the Isabella Anna, accompanied by Messrs. Culbertson, and Macgowan, and after a voyage of thirty-eight days, reached Tinghae on the island of Chusan on March 30th. There he 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.

On the 6th of May, he reached Amoy his appointed station. Ill health however obliging him to leave the place, ho returned to the United States in 1847, and settled as a pastor in Virginia. LXXV. Qfi\&Pang-ni. SAMUEL WILLI AM BONNEY, son of the Rev. William Bonney, was born at New Canaan. Con- necticut, March 8th, 1815. At an early age, he was thrown upon his own resources to obtain an education. In the year 1832, he was in the employ of Messrs. Merriam at Springfield, Mas- sachusetts, the publishers of Webster's Dictionary. In 1837, he was engaged at Poughkeepsie teaching. The same year he was converted, and on the 28th of January in the following year, he joined the Allen Street Church. In 1840 he was a student at New York University; but next year removed to Lane Seminary, Ohio. By the assistance of friends, he was enabled to continue his studies till 1S44. When about finish- ing his course, he received an appointment from the American 'Board of Commissioners, as missionary to India ; but this des- tination was afterwards changed from an accidental circum- stance. Happening to meet the Rev. J. Addison Carey of the Deaf and Dumb Institution, in a New York car, the latter 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- 150 SAMUEL WILLIAM BONNEY. 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.

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 152 THOMAS ITALL HUDSON. we have respecting him, he was a chaplain in the United Stales army, at Chester in Pennsylvania. 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.

THOMAS HALL HUDSON, an ordained minister of the Baptist communion in England, was for several years engaged as a missionary in the West Indies, in' connection with the General Baptist Missionary Society. He was afterwards appointed to the ser- vice in China, by the same board, and studied the Chinese 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 mission station. During the early years of the mission he re- ceived considerable assistance from his son, who withdrew however about the year 1851. Although for the greater part THOMAS HALL HUDSON. 153 of his time he lias been without a European colleague, he has esent; but society has remained uninterruptedly at his post up to the present; but for a number of years past his connection with the sc ceased.

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. 00 ° 4 LXXXI. fjijj M Shwae-le. EDWARD W. SYLE, a native of England, was ordained to the ministry in the United s and appointed a missionaiy to China, by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He left Ame- rica with Mrs. Syle in the summer of 1845, in the Heber, and arrived at Hongkong on the 4th of October; whence they sailed again in the Eagle on the 23rd, and reached Shanghae on November 19th. There he continued his missionary la- 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. Although there is no separate work by Mr. Syle published, yet he rendered considerable service, aiding in the transla- SAMUEL CORNELIUS CLOPTON". 155 : ion of (lie Prayer Book, and portions of the Scriptures.

There in ad- dition to his other missionary duties, he superintended the mission press for-* time, and also conducted the services in the English chapel. In September, 1848, he removed to on, to assist Dr. Hobson, who had recently effected a settlement there. In 1850 he left for England, arrived in London, February 21st, 1851, and retired from the mission. He has since gone to Australia., where he has been occupied 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.

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.

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 mission among (he Chinese in California, left vacant by the return eastward of Mr. Shuck. No more recent intelligence has been heard regarding him. LXXXVL WILLIAM SPEER, a native of the United States, studied medicine at Jefferson College, Philadelphia, where he graduated as M.

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.

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. Publications by Mr. Hamberg. CHINESE. 1- Jffi B ff? # '^ ^ II fft Yaij soo sin t'oo show k'oo tsung Inn.

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. Publications by Mr. Genahr. CHINESE. 1.

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. CL fg Too. Rev. THOMAS W. TOBEY was sent to China by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Southern Baptist Convention in the United Slates. He arrived at Hongkong with Mrs. Tobey in August, 1847, and proceeded without delay to his destination at Shanghae.

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. ALEXANDER WYLIE, 173 o v . ft JSk 35 ij Wei-m Ya-uJi .

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 made 1 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. Publications by Mr. Cummiugs. CHINESE. 1.

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 of Foreign Missions of the Southern Baptist Convention, he sailed with Mrs. James from Philadelphia in the Valparaiso, on November J lth, accompanied by Messrs. Gumming and Baldwin with their wives, Mr. Richards and Miss. Pohlman, and landed at Hongkong on March 25th, 1848. Their destina- tion was Shanghae, and after spending five or six days at Hongkong, they visited Canton, from "which they embarked to return on April 13th, in the schooner Paradox. As they entered the harbour on the 15th, and in sight of the town of Hongkong, Dr. James had just left the deck for the cabin, where Mrs. James was preparing to go ashore, when a sudden gust of wind struck the schooner, and she immediately went over on her side, going down in a few seconds, when Dr. and Mrs. James found a watery grave, nothing having been seen of them afterwards.

His health was consi- derably impaired during the voyage, and after a residence of several months without any sensible improvement, he made a short visit to Ningpo, which produced no benefit, and it was determined that he should proceed at once to England. He left Shanghae with Mrs. Farmer, about the middle of March, 1849, for Hongkong, where they took passage by steamer, in- tending to proceed by the overland route. Three days after his embarkation at the Point de G-alle, he died at sea on the 23rd of April, and his remains were committed to the deep. Mrs. Farmer continued the voyage to England.

Whilden, and arrived at Hongkong on February 13th, 1849. Proceeding northward, he arrived at Ningpo in August, and was for several years actively engaged in mission work there. In I85G Mrs. Rankin's state of health rendered a change necessary, and he went to Shanghae in March, where he embarked with his family in the N. B. Palmer, for the United States, accompanied by Dr. and Mrs. Kelly. He returned to Ningpo in July, 185S, and remained there till 1863 when he went to Teng-chow with his family, and died at that city on July 2nd.

[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 REV. ELI AS B. INSLEE. 243 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. CCII. M S M Yll ".l SserU. Rev. ELIAS B.
