A String of Chinese Peach-Stones - Cambridge Library Collection - Travel and Exploration in Asia
William Arthur Cornaby
Cornaby's work represents an important attempt to expand Western knowledge of central China in the late nineteenth century. Touching on folklore, topography, daily rituals and social norms as well as the devastating effects of the Taiping Rebellion, the Methodist missionary carefully documents Chinese society, focusing especially on a farming village.
