A Sketch Of Chinese History, Ancient And Modern: Comprising A Retrospect Of The Foreign Intercourse And Trade With China (Cambridge Library Collection - East And South-East Asian History) (Volume 2)

The Prussian-born Protestant missionary Karl Friedrich August Gützlaff (1803-51) sought to spread Christianity in the Far East. A gifted linguist, he learned several Chinese dialects and distributed translated literature. This 1834 two-volume work sought to diminish Anglophone ignorance of China's history from mythological times to the ruling Qing dynasty.
