translated from the works of Tseu-Kwang-K'he. Called also Paul Siu, a Colao, or minister of state in China. Shanghae : Printed at the Mission Press, 1849. [Series: The Chinese miscellany, III]. Octavo, recent half morocco over marbled papered boards; title leaf, pp 108, followed by [16] full-page wood block printed illustrations; title and last illustrated leaf a little browned, but a fine copy bound without the wrappers. An important work in English on silk, extracted from an early Chinese source. A partial translation of Nonzheng quanshu (Complete treatise on agriculture, 1639), an encyclopaedic work of the late Ming which included a vast amount of information on the production of sik. It was written by Xu Guangqi (Latin name Paul Siù), a Christian convert during Ricci's time in China. The potential importance of Medhurst's translation to British commerce was recognized in its time, as it was reprinted again in Madras in 1858 (anon., Madras Exhibition of 1859) 'to encourage Indian silk cultivators and reelers to employ these superior Chinese techniques' (Ma, Debin. Textiles in the Pacific, 1500?1900.New York : Routledge, 2016, p. 123). Cordier, Sinica, 1513; Lust 1237.

Translated by W.H. Medhurst. Shanghae : Printed at the Mission Press, 1849. Octavo, original printed yellow wrappers (the brittle paper with chipped edges, some loss to lower wrapper), pp 88; a very good copy; housed in a clam shell box of half morocco over marbled papered boards. Scarce Shanghai imprint. A largely theological investigation of the Chinese word shen ? (spirit; god, deity; spiritual, supernatural; awareness, consciousness, etc.), through a vast array of quotations in the eighteenth century thesaurus, P'ei-wen yün-fu. The work examines the way in which the word is used and understood in neo-Confucianist philosophy and popular religion. Walter Henry Medhurst (1796-1857), an English Congregational missionary, was one of the first translators of the Bible into Chinese. During 25 years of service with the London Missionary Society in Malacca, Penang and Batavia from 1816 onwards, Medhurst became proficient in several Chinese dialects as well as Malay. In 1842 he was sent to Shanghai, where, with William Lockhart, he founded the London Missionary Society Press. He remained in Shanghai until 1856. Medhurst was a prolific writer and translator. Notably, he produced several linguistic works aimed at improving the accessibility of the Chinese language for an anglophone readership. His other works included a series of Chinese-English and English-Chinese dictionaries, as well as hisChinese Dialogues, which was specifically designed to provide the anglophone user with the language resources required to conduct transactions in Chinese.
