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 1838 two-volume work brought a wealth of information on Chinese geography, history, culture and government to a Western readership.
