A HISTORY OF CHINA, 
Ancient and Modern: comprising a retrospect of the Foreign Intercourse and Trade 
with China. Illustrated by a new and corrected Map ot the Empire. By the 
REV. CHARLES GUTZLAFF, 
Now and lor many years past, resident in that Country. 
« ]\| r Charles Gutzlaff, a native of Prussia, was employed as a Missionary in the East, 
we believe, by the Netherlands Society, and to tiis astonishing skill in acquiring the Dia- 
lects of the Chinese Countries, his bold and adventurous character, commerce and sta- 
tistical science, as well as Christianity, are already indebted . . 
“ After residing in Siam for some months, preaching, teaching, and acquiring lan- 
guages, he proceeded to China, in a native Junk, and by this mode of travelling, he of 
course acquired an insight into the character of the lower classes of Chinese. _ 
“ In two subsequent voyages he coasted a large part, of Western China, during which 
he was repeatedly charged by the Chinese Mandarins with being a native, so accurate 
was his knowledge of their language and manners. China, therefore, seems to be a 
theatre peculiarly fitted for a person of Mr. Gutzlaff's qualifications and temperament.
