"Crown Copyright Reserved" stamp to front panel some wear and chipping to extremities joints partly split but holding spine sometime repaired light soiling; an otherwise clean copy. First edition first impression of Hong Kong's "first 'strategic' plan for the territory" Pun observing the two major constraints it faced: "a shortage of land and an unlimited reservoir of possible immigration" Xue p. 7. Sir Leslie Patrick Abercrombie 18791957 "was the most famous town planner in Britain" at the time of his nomination by the Hong Kong government in 1947 "and had worked in the planning field for more than 30 years. Abercrombie had good ideas that included the establishment of a garden city satellite towns and organic dispersion. These ideas had proved effective in his Greater London plan and in the post-war urban construction in other European cities and he looked forward to applying them to the Far East. Abercrombie hoped that the Hong Kong report would cover both short- and long-term policies and direct private enterprises in a way such that their operations would fall into a general and agreed-upon form of planned development. When Abercrombie handed the report to the Hong Kong government at the end of 1948 the People's Liberation Army was pushing its front forward from north to south. Many refugees were pouring into Hong Kong. The population exploded from 600000 people in 1945 to three million people in 1949. Already stressing the limits of its tattered fabric Hong Kong achieved a new urban density of over 50000 people to the square mile one of if not the highest in the world. Although Abercrombie's proposals were not immediately realized they influenced later urban planning policies and directions" Xue p. 8.

‎A Familiar Letter to Personal Friends. China mission appeal letter‎

‎Boston 1879. Very good condition. An appeal from an American Congregational mission at Pao Ting Fu China now Baoding in the period leading up to the Boxer Rebellion in which Rev. Pierson introduces a new colleague whose actions following the Rebellion ignited a major debate in the United States. William S. Ament 1859 - 1909 the new colleague was vilified by Mark Twain as part of the imperialist action to seize Chinese assets when he sought indemnities for destroyed mission property from the local Chinese people. Twain believed the missionaries in China served as a front for American imperialism; Ament had in fact been arrested by French and German troops in China and charged with attempting to extort money from the local villagers. However during the Rebellion itself and the attacks on foreigners Ament acted bravely: he personally travelled alone and unarmed to Tungchow rescuing the missionaries and Chinese staff there. In Beijing he moved provisions from the Methodist compound to the British legation which enabled the people there to survive the long siege. 8vo 4pp. Printed in Boston and distributed September 6 1879.

‎China Missions circular with CDV photograph of mission girls‎

‎Shanghai 1874. Very good condition. Presbyterian foreign mission appeal focussing on educational aid for Chinese girls with an albumen image of 4 mission girls laid down at the top of the first page. This appeal was made by an American missionary who also was a land speculator in China profiting from a legal loophole allowing missionaries to buy land outside the port cities and making a large profit. The text of the appeal describes the girls' hardships: "Kwae Tsu . is also nine years old. Her father smokes opium . while her mother works to secure a scanty support for the family". Here Farnham appeals for $75 to support a female teacher and $100 for a male teacher. J. W. Farnham 1829-1917 the author of the appeal was the editor of the Child's Monthly board member of the Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church US and Director of the Chinese Religious Tract Society. Farnham was able to speculate in land due to treaties forced on China in the Opium Wars: missionary societies were not restricted to owning land only inside the trading enclaves of the port cities. Farnham took advantage of this loop hole and was the first to purchase a large tract of land for only 50 Mexican dollars at what would become the Moganshan Summer Resort. Farnham's land was quickly subdivided and sold on reaping an enormous profit. Small 8vo 5 x 8" 3pp. Slight foxing front and rear period folds otherwise very good condition. <br/><br/> unknown‎
