MorrisonDiary Of A Journey Overland: Through The Maritime Provinces Of China, From Manchao, On The South Coast Of Hainan, To Canton (1822) is a travelogue written by J. R. Morrison, an English missionary and sinologist who lived and worked in China during the early 19th century. The book chronicles Morrison's journey through the southern coastal provinces of China, from Manchao in Hainan to Canton (now Guangzhou) in Guangdong, over a period of several months in 1822.Morrison's account provides a detailed description of the landscape, climate, and people he encountered along the way, as well as his observations on the customs, traditions, and daily life of the Chinese people. He also provides insights into the political and economic conditions of the region, including the impact of the opium trade and the tensions between Chinese authorities and foreign traders.Throughout the book, Morrison reflects on his experiences as a Christian missionary in China, and the challenges and opportunities presented by his work. He also discusses his interactions with Chinese officials, intellectuals, and ordinary people, offering a unique perspective on the cultural exchange between China and the West during the early 19th century.Overall, Diary Of A Journey Overland offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century China, as seen through the eyes of an English missionary and traveler. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, culture, and politics of China, as well as the history of Christian missions and cross-cultural exchange.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
