Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. 1st Edition. 4 volumes : illustrations, portraits ; 27 cm. Issued in weekly parts. Rebound & preserved in purple cloth. Staining & wear to bottom edges throughout. "Mesny's Chinese Miscellany" (1895-1905) was an English-language weekly magazine, published in four volumes. Edited by the Englishman William Mesny, it covered a wide range of topics in contemporary China, including politics, economy, culture, history, geography, military affairs, customs, and industry, playing a significant role in Western understanding of China. The magazine documented Mesny's long-term activities in China and published his analyses of various social strata, providing valuable and abundant materials for the study of modern Chinese history. …

Mesny (18421919) spent almost sixty years in China, attaining high rank in the imperial army. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Geographical and Royal Historical Societies. Not one to shy away from self-promotion, he ends his preface here in confident vein: 'I make bold to say that with all its faults, Mesny's Chinese Miscellany will be the most useful work ever published, in any language on the many subjects of which it treats.'The contents are undeniably eclectic: in the first few issues alone Mesny discusses the Chinese language, medicine, flora, etiquette, food, railways, and military matters, throwing in memoirs of his own adventures along the way. OCLC and Library Hub record only three copies in the UK (BL, CUL, Durham) and three in the US (Catholic University of America, Harvard, Michigan). The series continued until its fourth volume, ending in June1905. Cordier, Sinica 104. Language: Chinese.…
