Download or read book America 1860: a Young Englishman's Diary written by Ian Craigan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-07-14 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was just twenty four years old when Englishman & entomologist Richard Harper Stretch stepped on to the boat at Liverpool and set sail for America on the 14th January 1860.He was going, he wrote, to 'investigate the manners and the institutions of our American Bretheren'. With him he carried his considerable luggage, a trusty shot gun, specimen jars and many preconceptions. Always to hand was a new, hard backed book in which to write about the things that he found, the places he saw and the people he met along the way. The diary that he wrote about his journey languished in obscurity until his nephew's granddaughter passed away. Now transcribed and annotated, with illustrations taken from RHS's own margin sketches, it provides a fascinating insight into America on the brink of Civil War and the mind of a travelling European, at large in a vast new continent.

Book Synopsis A Young Englishman in Victorian Hong Kong by : Benjamin Penny
Download or read book A Young Englishman in Victorian Hong Kong written by Benjamin Penny and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 1855, 16-year-old Chaloner Alabaster left England for Hong Kong, to take up a position as a student interpreter in the China Consular Service. He would stay for almost 40 years, climbing the rungs of the service and eventually becoming consul-general of Canton. When he retired he returned to England and received a knighthood. He died in 1898. Throughout his adult life, Alabaster kept diaries. In the first four volumes of these diaries, collected here by Benjamin Penny, the teenage Alabaster recorded his thoughts and observations, told himself anecdotes, and exploded in outbursts of anger and frustration. He was young and enthusiastic, and the everyday sights, sounds and smells of Hong Kong were novel to him. He describes how the Chinese people around him ironed clothes, dried flour and threshed rice; how they gambled, prepared their food and made bean curd; and what opera, new year festivities and the birthday of the Heavenly Empress were like. Like many a young Victorian, he was also a keen observer of natural history, fascinated by fireflies and ants, corals and sea slugs, and the volcanic origins of the landscape. Alabaster’s diaries are a unique, vibrant and riveting record of life in the young British colony on the cusp of the Second Opium War. With A Young Englishman in Victorian Hong Kong, Penny sheds new light on the history of the region.

Book Synopsis Positioning the Missionary by : Brett Christophers
Download or read book Positioning the Missionary written by Brett Christophers and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positioning the Missionary examines Anglican missionary work in nineteenth-century British Columbia. Its chief protagonists are John Booth Good, an agent of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and the Nlha7kapmx poeple of southwestern B.C. Asking why the Nkha7kapmx embraced Good, how he sought to evangelize and civilize them, and how they responded, it situates Good's mission at several scales: the local ethnographic literature; histories of contact and conflict in mainland B.C. from the early nineteenth century; the theology and sociology of mission; and the recent critical literature on European colonialism. Christophers rethinks mission work in the light of contemporary theories of colonial discourse and disciplinary power, and speculates about the interpretative potential of such concepts. In addition to Good's encounter with the Nlha7kapmx, Positioning the Missionary also refers to other colonial missions, identifying by turns the peculiarity of Good's experience and the ways in which it conforms to broader patterns of mission history. As a reflection on the ongoing politics of colonialism, this book discusses Good's contribution to the devastation of Nlha7kapmx culture and his duplicitous role in the appropriation of Nlha7kapmx lands.
