As trade between the East and the West grew in the mid-nineteenth
century, increasing numbers of Westerners travelled to China and
Japan, and in 1867 this guide to the key port cities such as Hong
Kong and Nagasaki was published in both Hong Kong and London. Its
editor, Nicholas Belfield Dennys (?1813 99) claimed it was the
first such comprehensive handbook printed for public distribution.
Intended for visitors and new residents, the guide was originally
typeset in China, allowing place names and other words to be
printed in Chinese characters. The specially commissioned maps were
also engraved in China. The book includes physical descriptions and
brief histories of over twenty cities, details of schools and
libraries, population statistics and much practical information, as
well as a list of other publications on China and Japan. It is a
valuable historical source on East Asia during a period of rapid
change.
