5 WESTERN REPORTS ON THE TAIPING A SELECTION OF DOCUMENTS Prescott Clarke and J. S. Gregory, editors The Taiping movement of , whether seen as "rebellion" or "revolution," has long been recognized as one of the seminal events in modern Chinese history. Probably more than any other single theme in that history before the rise to power of the Chinese Communist Party it has engaged the attention of contemporary historians. One problem facing all serious students of the Taiping is the paucity, relative to the scale and undoubted significance of the movement, of the primary sources available. Though, several collections of the Chinese documents of the Rebellion translated into English have now been published, this collection for the first time reflects the state of knowledge about the Rebellion among the Westerners in China at the time. Gregory and Clarke have thoroughly combed the Western sources and brought together not only the lesser known, and even the unknown, but also, by orderly presentation and judicious introductions and notes, brought out the significance of some of the better known materials. Western Reports on the Taiping is a detailed series of reports written by Western journalists, missionaries, scholars, and government officials arranged chronologically. The original French and English language sources are all published, though few of the documents are readily available. By collecting and commenting on these documents, the editors have created a volume of great value to readers interested in 19th century Chinese history, Chinese revolutionary history, and the Western impact in China. A graduate of Harvard's East Asia Center and subsequently of the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, the late Prescott Clarke moved to Australia in 1967 to teach Chinese history at Monash University in Melbournex J. S. Gregory, professor of history at La Trobe University, completed the Ph.D. at London University. Their collaboration on this work began in $25.00 hardcover, $15.95 paperback, $.75 per book for shipping UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII PRESS 2840 Kolowalu Street Honolulu, Hawaii 96822
