WOR KS 



SELECTED FROM THE CATALOGUE OF 



WALTON AND MABERLY, 



UPPER GOWER STREET, & IVY LANE, PATERNOSTER ROW. 



A New Descriptive Catalogue of Educational 

 and Works in Science and General Literature, 

 published by Walton and Maberly. 



THE object of this CATALOGUE is to convey a more satisfactory notion of the 

 contents of the books in it than can be drawn from reading the titles. Instead of 

 laudatory extracts from Reviews, general notices are given of the Chief Subjects 

 and most Prominent Peculiarities of the Books. The publication is designed to 

 put the Reader, as far as possible, in the same position as if he had inspected for 

 himself, at least cursorily, the works described ; and with this view, care has 

 been taken, in drawing up the notices, merely to state facts, with but little 

 comment, and no exaggeration whatever. 



This Catalogue will be sent post-free to any one writing for it. 



The Chinese Rebel Chief, Hung-Siu-Tsuen, 



AND THE ORIGIN OF THE INSURRECTION IN CHINA. 



By the Rev- THEODORE HAMBERG. Edited, with an Introduction, by GEORGE 

 PEARSE, Foreign Secretary of the Chinese Evangelization Society. 

 Foolscap 8vo., Is. 6d. cloth. 



The Friend of China contains a review of this narrative, which is attributed to the 

 Bishop of Victoria, Hong Kong, and in which he says "The author's well known 

 caution, truthfulness, and candour, give to the little volume under review an inter- 

 est and a reality which we miss while perusing the nighty groundless theories and 

 statements hazarded in such works as those by MM. YVAN and GALLERY. 

 The author had with him in his own house a prominent agent in the events narrated, 

 and kinsman of the Insurgent Chief. 



Mr. Meadows, Chinese Interpreter in H.M. Civil Service, who accompanied the 

 Hermes in her visit to the Rebel Chiefs at Nanking, thus speaks of this narrative 

 in his new work, The Chinese and their Rebellions 



"This [the fact just mentioned in the preceding paragraph] is one of the many 

 incidental proofs of the truthfulness of Mr. HAMBERG'S informant." p. 86. 



And again, "This passage, I may remark in passing, is one of the strongest proofs 

 of the truthfulness and general accuracy of the narrative in Mr. HAMBERG'S book." 

 p. 103.
