Author Description

Excerpt from The 100 Years Anglo-Chinese Calendar, 1st Jan., 1776 to 25th Jan., 1876: Corresponding With the 11th Day of the 11th Moon of the 40th Year of the Reign Kien-Lung, to the End of the 14th Year of the Reign Tung-Chi; Together With an Appendix, Containing Several Interesting Tables and Extracts IN presenting the 100 Years anglo-chinese Calendar to the public, the compiler claims no originality for his work, inasmuch as, since the year Calendars in somewhat similar form have been yearly issued from the press in China; but, as it is doubtful if a complete series of these exists, and as, in the transaction of business, whether official, legal or commercial, between Foreigners and Chinese, and in the study of Chinese History which is now so intimately connected with foreign nations, a knowledge of the corresponding dates is quite necessary, it is hoped that this compilation will be found useful, and especially so in referring to the date of past events, and in deciding the precise day, according to the Chinese and Chris tian Calendars, on which they occurred.
