Item Details

Description

Extremely Rare c1848 Map of Hong Kong, including reference to the Morrison Society School, a Protestant English langauge school for young Chinese boys. The school was built on what is now Morrison Hill in 1842 and demolished in 1849. 51cm x 31.5cm

The original object of the Morrison School was to teach Chinese boys the English language in connection with Christianity, but after an experiment of several years, it was found that the boys had so universally perverted their knowledge of English, by becoming, for the sake of gain, interpreters for opium-traders, sailors, and others, generally for wicked purposes, making, to say the least, but very poor use of their English, and none at all of their Christianity. From 'Five Years in China' Charles Taylor.

Professional conservational, wax linen backing.

Provenance: Hong Kong City Hall Library reference 409421, 17 December 1964 (markings to verso)
