Excerpt from Catalogue of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs Collection, at the United States International Exhibition, Philadelphia, 1876 Coal, anthracite and bituminous, is found in great quantities all over the North of China. The extent of these coal-fields is estimated at some square miles, but the mining appliances are very defective and the coal hitherto extracted is but surface coal. As soon as the appearance of the strata indicates the presence of coal, or more often when it is seen cropping out of the hill-side, the miners commence tunnelling. They follow up the seam, working generally in a horizontal direction, slightly inclining upwards, to admit of the free egress of water. Hunan coal is largely used by the river steamers running between Hankow and Shanghai, and that mined at the northern end of the Island of Formosa is also utilised to a considerable extent both by foreign steamers and the gunboats built at the Government arsenal at Foochow. During the past year the authorities in Formosa have engaged the services of a foreign engineer and authorised the use, under his supervision, of European mining machinery; and it may be hoped that when they have learnt by practical experience the superiority of machinery over the rude appliances hitherto employed, the Government will sanction its introduction for the development of the enormous mineral resources lying unproductive in the various portions of the empire. In 1874 the consumption by foreign steamboats was -of Hunan coal, tons; Lohping (also Yangtze) coal, tons; of Formosan coal, I tons; or in all some tons: the values of the three kinds are Tls. 5, Tls. 6 and Tls. 3 respectively.

Irene Eber was one of the foremost authorities on Jews in China during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries—a field that, in contrast to the study of the Jewish diaspora in Europe and the Americas, has been critically neglected. This volume gathers fourteen of Eber’s most salient articles and essays on the exchanges between Jewish and Chinese cultures, making available to students, scholars, and general readers a representative sample of the range and depth of her important work in the field of Jews in China. Jews in China delineates the centuries-long, reciprocal dialogue between Jews, Jewish culture, and China, all under the overarching theme of cultural translation. The first section of the book sets forth a sweeping overview of the history of Jews in China, beginning in the twelfth century and concluding with a detailed assessment of the two crucial years leading up to the Second World War. The second section examines the translation of Chinese classics into Hebrew and the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Chinese. The third and final section turns to modern literature, bringing together eight essays that underscore the cultural reciprocity that takes place through acts of translation. The centuries-long relationship between Judaism and China is often overlooked in the light of the extensive discourse surrounding European and American Judaism. With this volume, Eber reminds us that we have much to learn from the intersections between Jewish identity and Chinese culture.

Sent alone to China by the London Missionary Society in 1807, Robert Morrison (1782–1834) was one of the earliest Protestant missionaries in East Asia. During some 27 years in China, Macau and Malacca, he worked as a translator for the East India Company and founded an academy for converts and missionaries; independently, he translated the New Testament into Chinese and compiled the first Chinese-English dictionary. In the process, he was building the foundation of Chinese Protestant Christianity. This book critically explores the preparations and strategies behind this first Protestant mission to China. It argues that, whilst introducing Protestantism into China, Morrison worked to a standard template developed by his tutor David Bogue at the Gosport Academy in England. By examining this template alongside Morrison’s archival collections, the book demonstrates the many ways in which Morrison’s influential mission must be seen within the historical and ideological contexts of British evangelism. The result is this new interpretation of the beginnings of Protestant Christianity in China.
