Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. . With introduction by Dr. Timothy Richard. Davidson (1864-1942) and Mason (1870-1939) were both British Quaker missionaries who served in Sichuan from the late 1800s (Davidson beginning in 1890 and Mason in 1894), establishing the Friends' Missionary Hall in Chongqing. Mason particularly was in China during some turbulent times including the Boxer Rebellion and the 1911 Revolution. He mastered the language and translated Christian literature into Chinese and helped produce a Chinese translation of the Bible. He was particularly interested in Chinese Muslims. Mason is actually pictured in several of the group images in the book (see my limages) and his wife Esther in one. The book describes the province, the beginnings of the Friends Mission, girls and boys schools in Chungking, and shows their buildings and pupils. There is much information on what life was like for an early missionary, including the adventures/difficulties in getting around, the cities of Chungking and Chengdu, the people and social customs, education, other Christian missions, and much more. 70 photographic illustrations including a frontispiece showing the boys boarding school, and 69 others, some full page, and more interesting than images typically shown in old books on China. Folding map. Attractive hardcover, with paste-on illustration on the front of a missionary being carried in a primitive-looking cart (not really a sedan chair). Black titles on the spine. 248 pages including several appendices at the back giving statistics on Christian missions in China at that time. Very scarce book Very good condition with light spotting upper right corner of cover. The book has a very interesting provenance; it once belonged to the Curnow family -- and their name is on the inside front cover. Rev. J. O. [James Oats] Curnow, was born in 1856 in England, the son of Thomas Curnow of Penzance. In 1890 he married Mary Jane Eland at Pao-Ning China, where both were missionaries (he, Methodist) with the China Inland Mission. They lived in Chungking. Their daughter was Irene J. Curnow, born in 1897 in London. She married Cyril Marsinga H. Thomas in Penang in 1928. By 1921 Rev. Curnow is listed as a retired missionary with the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. As the Curnows were in Chunking at the same time as the authors, and the missionary community would have been small, they must have known each other.
