This seems to be based on reliable sources, although it is written 

 in a popular style. 



In Boston Athenaeum, 

 Bridgman, Eliza J. Gillett. (Ed.) 



The Life and Labors of Elijah Coleman Bridgman, edited by 

 Eliza J. Gillett Bridgman with an introductory note by Asa D. 

 Smith, D.D. New York, 1864. 



This is largely made up of extracts from Bridgman's private 

 journal or diary and his correspondence, and so is very valuable. 

 Brown, Arthur Judson. 



New Forces in Old China. New York (Revell and Co.), 1904. 



This is of use here because of its brief sketch of Christian 

 'missions to China before 1807. 

 BuLFiNCH, Thomas. 



Oregon and Eldorado, or Romance of the Rivers. Boston, 

 1866. 



This gives some account of the Northwest Trade, and as the 

 author was closely related to the Bulfinch who helped to send 

 out the Columbia and the Washington, it should be fairly reliable 

 for these early years. 

 Callahan, James Morton. 



American Relations in the Pacific and the Far East, 1784- 1900. 

 In Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political 

 Science. Baltimore, 1901. 



This is disappointing, placing undue emphasis on certain minor 

 incidents, and not at all exhausting the subject. The author is 

 not always accurate. See above, last footnote on Chapter III. 

 Cary, Thomas G. 



Sketch of Thomas H. Perkins. Vol. 10:201-210. In New 

 England Historical and Genealogical Register, Boston. 

 Chever, C. F. 



Some Remarks on the Commerce of Salem from 1726 to 1740, 

 with a sketch of Philip English, a merchant in Salem from about 

 1670 to about 1733-1734. In Historical Collections of the Essex 

 Institute, Vol. i, p. 67. 



This helps to show the pre- Revolutionary preparation of Salem 

 for a distant commerce, such as that to China.
