Thomas Taylor Meadows
When he published this work in 1847, Thomas Taylor Meadows (1815–68) was the British consular interpreter at the key treaty port of Canton (Guangzhou). Including discussion of difficulties in learning Chinese, the work sheds valuable light on the bureaucracy, corruption and tension in southern China prior to the Taiping Rebellion.
